This Ara Wisdom Tepi Yellow is a handcrafted blowing instrument used for administering Rapé. Its design is inspired by the Ara parrot, an animal associated with wisdom and connection to nature in the Brazilian jungle.
The Tepi is handcrafted by artisan Paolo, who combines stones or crystals with handmade clay. The design is adorned with traditional Huni Kuin Kene patterns. Depending on the individual piece, it may also incorporate bamboo or animal bone sourced from the jungle. This artisanal process ensures that each Tepi is a unique item, and variations between pieces may occur.
This Tepi is crafted within the traditions of the Huni Kuin family and the Santo Daime practice from Brazil. Within these traditions, the Ara parrot is considered a protector of stories and a symbol of the connection between humans and nature. This narrative is reflected in the design of this piece.
