Serpentine Spiral Kuripe

This handcrafted kuripe is a one-of-a-kind bamboo rapé self-applicator featuring serpentine 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 bright green sculpted body wraps around an oval serpentine centre stone, with a detailed snake motif winding across the front of the piece. The vivid green palette highlights the natural tones of the serpentine while giving the kuripe a distinctive sculptural presence.

On the reverse side, prehnite and jade stones are incorporated into the design, adding additional layers of natural mineral texture to the piece.

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, variations in colour and pattern are part of the character of the piece.
