Double Tepi in Chonta Wood – Traditional Rapé Applicator from Peru

This handmade double tepi from Peru is a powerful ritual tool for the traditional rapé application. Made of robust chonta wood (palm wood of the Amazon), this Tepi stands for grounding, stability and clarity. The double execution enables a conscious, aligned Rapé gift in a ritual setting.

The handle is intricately decorated with colored Shipibo beadwork in shades of red, orange, yellow, black, and white. The patterns are inspired by the traditional Kené designs of the Shipibo Conibo and symbolize protection, energy flow and spiritual order. The design is complemented by a subtle Aya symbolism, which stands for connection between the worlds.

Significance & Application

The double tepi is traditionally used in rapé ceremonies, where presence, mindfulness and mutual respect are paramount. Chonta wood is valued in the Amazon region as particularly resistant and energetically protective – ideal for regular ritual work.
