The Shipibo-Conibo people of the Peruvian Amazon are renowned for their intricate geometric artistry — a visual language connecting the physical and spiritual worlds. Their beadwork patterns, known as kené, are believed to carry encoded knowledge and serve as a form of sacred communication. Each tepi crafted in the Shipibo style honors this living tradition while providing a functional ceremonial tool for sharing Hapé.
A tepi is the traditional two-person applicator used when one practitioner serves Hapé to another. Serving with a tepi is considered a sacred responsibility — an act of trust, presence, and shared intention. This piece is designed to be held with reverence, intention, and care.
