This handcrafted kuripe is a one-of-a-kind bamboo rapé self-applicator featuring natural amazonite and complementary stone accents. Each piece is individually made using bamboo and carefully selected materials, creating a functional tool that is also a small work of art. The sculpted body is finished in soft turquoise tones and centres around a polished amazonite stone set within a sculpted frame. A short strand of amazonite beads, along with howlite and quartz, hangs below the body and is finished with 24k gold-plated accents, adding a subtle contrast to the cool mineral colours. Natural bamboo forms the structure of the kuripe, keeping the piece lightweight while providing a strong and durable base for the sculpted body and stone elements. Kuripes are traditionally used as self-applicators for rapé (hapé), a finely powdered sacred tobacco used in various Amazonian traditions. This piece is offered simply as a handcrafted tool made with respect for those traditions. Because each kuripe is handmade and uses natural stone, small variations in colour and texture are part of the character of the piece.
