Hand Carved Serpentine Stone Rapé Applicator
This tepi is hand carved from Peruvian serpentine stone, shaped for ceremonial rapé application.
Serpentine carries a naturally grounded presence. Solid in weight and smooth in feel, this piece sits comfortably in the hand and offers a steady channel for serving medicine.
This black serpentine is sourced from Cusco, whereas the more green coloured serpentine used for other tools is sourced from further north parts of Peru.
The form is intentionally simple and balanced allowing the focus to remain on the prayer and the moment of exchange.
Natural variation in the stone ensures that each piece is one of a kind.
Made for practice.
Not decoration.

* Hand carved serpentine stone
