Bone Tepi

Carved from bone. The color white symbolizes purity. Bone is the most commonly used material in making medicine tools.

Handmade in Peru close to Machu Picchu. These tepis may have a stone, a crystal, or a piece of ayahuasca vine embedded into the tool. The crystal energizes the pipe while the stone helps to ground. The piece of Aya adds the grandmother spirit into the tool to assist in centering the plants that pass through it.
