Curved Bead Tepi
This tepi is known for its deep curve and thick bead work. There are multiple different variations of this tepi. We offer a sustainably sourced lamb bone from left over human food, chonta wood, or palo santo wood. Each color pattern is unique. Both ends of the curved bead tepi remain bare. At the center, colorful bead work is done to reflect the Shipibo mustacilla fabric patterns. Alpaca wire is wrapped at the ends of the bead work. Towards the receiving end there is a carving in the shape of the sacred ayahuasca vine, to invoke the grandmother spirit. On the giver's end a bright blue chrysocolla gem is placed on top of natural paint to ignite harmony and clarity.
