In honor of the divine hummingbird spirit, we offer our exquisitely shaped Hummingbird tepi, which is known for its uniquely round curvature. This feature was created so that the server's hand holding the tepi is not in the way between the receiver and the server.

More Info

The Hummingbird Tepi is our collective inspiration and one-of-a-kind ceremonial applicator, created with prayerful intention and exquisite detail.

One side is crafted from Palo Santo, Palo Sangre, Chonta wood, or sustainably sourced lamb bone : gathered only from natural remnants of the food cycle. The other side is made from hand-polished lamb bone, symbolizing balance between the sacred and the earthly.

Intricate Shipibo-inspired beadwork adorns the tepi, carrying the vibrational patterns of protection and ancestral vision. A chrysocolla gem and fine ground chrysocolla dust infuse the piece with harmony, while a delicate ayahuasca carving honors Pachamama, our sacred Mother Earth. The porcupine spines, gracefully wrapped in alpaca wire, completes the design: representing precision, transformation, and the beauty of the earth.
