Carved Cumaru Tepi by Yawinawá

These sacred Yawanawá Tepi blowpipes are masterfully handcrafted from a single solid piece of richly hued Cumaru wood, shaped and finished by Indigenous artisans deeply rooted in Amazonian tradition. More than a tool, each Tepi embodies ancestral intention and ceremonial resonance—an heirloom-quality instrument reflecting the profound skill, cultural heritage, and spiritual lineage of its maker.

In shamanic practice, the Tepi serves as a ceremonial conduit: the giver gently delivers sacred plant medicines like hapé into the recipient’s nostrils, symbolizing energetic exchange, healing transmission, and community connection. Rare and collectible, each one-of-a-kind piece carries the forest’s voice and the spirit of the Yawanawá, inviting reverence in both ritual and everyday sacred practice. Solid, enduring, and built to last, these Tepis are treasured artifacts for ceremonial use and personal devotional altars alike.
