Tepi Crocodile – hand-carved wood
Tepi Crocodile is a hand-carved wooden tepi from Bali with a crocodile motif. Every piece is one of a kind – the wood carries the marks of the carver’s hand, and slight variations in shape and pattern are natural.
Quality craftsmanship ensures sturdiness and a pleasant surface. 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.
