About the Yawanawá Kuripe Pipe

Experience the craftsmanship and durability of a handmade Yawanawá kuripe, a traditional Amazonian self-application pipe used to administer rapé (hapé) during ceremony. Carved from a single piece of resilient Cumaru wood and created exclusively for Shamanic Supply, each kuripe highlights the natural beauty and distinctive grain of the wood, making every piece a one-of-a-kind ceremonial tool.

Designed for self-administration, this rapé applicator pipe offers excellent balance, control, and a comfortable fit in the hand. The compact V-shaped form connects mouth to nostril, allowing the medicine to be delivered with intention and precision during personal practice, ritual, and sacred prayer.

Honoring the Yawanawá tribe's traditional artistry, each Cumaru wood kuripe rapé pipe is individually carved by hand. The dense hardwood—sourced from the abundant forests of Brazil and prized for its strength and fragrant flowers—is renowned for its exceptional durability and beautiful grain. Produced in small batches rather than mass quantities, every kuripe serves not only as a functional ceremonial instrument but also as a collectible expression of authentic Amazonian craftsmanship.

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.
