Purple Current Kuripe

This handcrafted kuripe is a one-of-a-kind bamboo rapé self-applicator featuring charoite 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 deep violet tones and centres around a triangular charoite stone, known for its distinctive swirling purple patterns. A painted spiral detail adds contrast to the body, while a small bead strand below the piece incorporates amethyst and quartz, introducing subtle variation in tone and texture.

Natural bamboo forms the structure of the kuripe, keeping the piece lightweight while providing a 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 pattern are part of the character of the piece.
