Kuripe Palo Sangre Aya

Kuripe Palo Sangre Aya – red wood, Aya vine and crystal

A handmade Kuripe – a traditional V-shaped blowpipe for self-application of Rapé – by artisans from Peru. Two tubes of dark red Palo Sangre wood are joined by a metal ring with spiral ornaments, decorated with a blue stone and a slice of Aya vine. A clear crystal tip finishes the end.

It comes on a black cord, so you can wear it as a pendant and keep it with you. Every piece is handmade and unique – neither the grain of the wood nor the pattern of the vine ever repeats.

Each Kuripe is carved and assembled by hand by Peruvian artisans. With natural materials, the colour of the wood, the pattern of the vine and the shade of the stone differ from piece to piece – so the product may differ slightly from the photos.

The comfortable medium size fits well in the hand, and thanks to the cord you can carry it with you as a pendant.
