Kuripe

Pipe to self-administer hapé

The Kuripe is a small, traditional pipe used by South American indigenous tribes, particularly in the Amazon, for administering rapé, a sacred snuff. Made from materials like bamboo or bone and often decorated with carvings, beads, or feathers, it symbolizes a connection to nature and ancestral wisdom. It’s used in spiritual and healing rituals, where the user self-administers the snuff through the nostrils, reflecting its cultural and spiritual significance.
