Bamboo Kuripe Pipe — Puyanawa Kêne Design

Handmade bamboo kuripe pipe crafted in the Puyanawa village of Acre, Brazil, by skilled tribal artisans. Each piece is unique and collectible, featuring an ancestral Kêne design burned into the bamboo using traditional techniques.

Kêne isn’t decoration. In Amazonian tradition these geometric patterns carry identity, protection, and right-relationship with the forest — every hand-burned line holds meaning passed down through generations. Read our guide to Kêne, the sacred geometric art of the Amazon, to understand the story your kuripe carries.

Designed for self-administering rapé (hapé), this authentic tool is made from locally harvested bamboo and reflects the living traditions of the Amazon. Because burn patterns, colour tone, and grip shape vary from maker to maker, no two kuripe pipes are ever identical — the photo shows the exact piece you will receive.

What is a Kuripe?

A kuripe is a traditional self-applicator pipe used by the Indigenous tribes of the Amazon rainforest to administer sacred hapé (rapé) snuff. Small enough to fit in the palm, this V-shaped kuripe pipe is handmade from bamboo, wood or bone: one end rests at the lips, the other at the nostril, letting the practitioner blow the rapé into the nose without assistance — unlike the longer tepi pipe, which is used to serve hapé to another person. The use of kuripes dates back hundreds of years, with each tribe crafting its own distinctive designs and styles.

What is Rapé (Hapé)?

Hapé (rapé) — also spelled rapeh or hapeh — is a sacred Amazonian snuff medicine, prepared and used in ceremony by Indigenous tribes for centuries. Each handcrafted blend combines sun-cured jungle tobacco and dried medicinal plants with alkaline tree ashes, every formula reflecting the unique traditions of its makers. Traditionally, this shamanic snuff is administered with a bone or bamboo kuripe pipe, blown gently into the nostrils.
