Ceremonial Tepi store for Amazonian Rapé, shamanic snuff applicator, with hemp twine and natural feathers

This is a very UNIQUE, Rustic Style CEREMONIAL TEPI applicator for shamanic tobacco snuff from Amazon, known as Rapé, often used in sacred ceremonies.

The intention for this pipe was to provide healing and harmony for both - the person serving and the receiver (plus whatever intention they hold for themselves). I wished for whoever comes to contact with it, to be blessed by Universal Love and Light.

And as all of our pipes, it will be smudged with tobacco, sage and palo santo before sending :)

HOW IT'S MADE
I use only natural bamboo, which is always polished and nicely finished (also inside! to allow smooth passage of the snuff). The ends are sanded, so that they fit well into the nostrils and to enable easy pick up of the snuff powder. Every applicator is also varnished at the end, to strengthen it further and protect the artwork.

The parts are joined by non-toxic wood glue and then reinforced, with natural hemp rope and decorated with beautiful rooster feathers, which symbolise in shamanism the Solar energy and Illumination; rooster emulates sexuality, observance, and resurrection.

If you choose the option "with burning", the Tepi is then hand-burned with a pyrograph to create the beautiful spiral ornaments visible on the pictures.

SIZE
This Tepi is medium size; the arms are 14cm and 18cm
