Tepi Double Tamarind

Tepi Double Tamarind – double Tepi made of tamarind wood
Tepi Double Tamarind is a handmade Tepi made of tamarind wood, 23 cm in length. Its double design with two tubes makes it a striking piece for any collection.
Every piece is one of a kind – the dark grain of tamarind wood is different in each. In tradition, the Tepi is a tool made for sharing – a symbol of the bond between two people, respect and attention. We offer it as an ethnobotanical collector’s item.
Quality of workmanship
A bridge between two people
In Amazonian tradition, the Tepi is a tool that – unlike the Kuripe – is used between two people. It symbolises giving, trust and attention to the other.
These are traditional and symbolic associations, not a recommendation for use.
