Tepi Puyanawa - Mariri Sol de Floresta

1,999  incl. VAT

Tepi, a spiritual instrument used by the Puyanawa people, was made exclusively for Sarava. The making of the tepi is done with many prayers and as the Indians say, it is meant for ritual use. The tepi is made of hardened fimo, bamboo and is decorated with mariri flower and glass stone. We send the tepi including a pouch, handmade by Lucie, because we believe that instruments of power deserve good care and protection.

These Tepi are a connection with the forest, nature and the spirits of the rainforest (caboclos). This Tepi was made especially for Sarava. Made by our friend Antonio Puyanawa with great love. His production reflects beautiful and delicate work in every detail, and this always makes us very happy. As Antonio says with every use of this Tepi you call upon the power of the forest and that sacred power comes through this instrument of power directly to you. Haux!

Instruments of power should always be in protective packaging, always stored with reverence and respect, for this reason we also pack these blowpipes in bags that are hand sewn for you by Lucie.

These bags are packed free of charge and do not affect the price of the product as such.

The reason for this is simple, we want to send good tools of power among you and improve the culture of Rapé in our country.

Puyanawa tribe

In the early 20th century, the Puyanawa inhabited the headwaters of tributaries of the lower Moa River, and after contact with non-Indians, they were forced to live on land belonging to a colonel named Mancio Lima. Today they live in two villages, Barão do Rio Branco and Ipiranga located in the municipality of Mancio Lima, in Acre on the banks of the Moa River. this village is known as Pivo de Sapo ( people of the frog).
