Tépi Pipes: Hand-Carved Yawanawá Rapé Applicators in Cumaru Wood

These handmade Yawanawá tépi pipes are carved from a single solid piece of rich Cumaru wood, skillfully shaped and finely finished by tribal artisans in the Brazilian Amazon. Rare and highly collectible, each is a one-of-a-kind art piece that reflects the maker's skill and cultural heritage. Solid, durable, and built to last, these tépi applicators are designed for the ceremonial sharing of rapé (hapé) snuff between two people, allowing one participant to blow the sacred medicine into another's nostrils.

Each tépi is hand-carved and unique — no two pieces are identical in grain or finish. A traditional tool of indigenous tribes of the Amazon, the tépi is central to communal hapé ceremonies and prized by practitioners for its craftsmanship and provenance.
