This is a ceremonial Kuripe applicator to administer shamanic rapé snuff tobacco during rituals like Ayahuasca and Kambo ceremonies. It features a rare spiral shell called Shiva Eye.

An expensive (but amazing) rapé pipe
This is the pipe I use in my rapé Ceremonies.
A double kuripe that allows to self-administer shamanic snuff in a single shot, which is the preferred way for some shamans I know.
This applicator is unique in many ways. I first made one for myself and I will make yours the same way.
All the material I use, from the wood to the bamboo, is found in nature, here in Goa. The bone is also natural and belongs to wild animals.
The stone is a Tiger Eye, which has the power to focus the mind, promoting mental clarity, and assisting us to resolve problems objectively and unclouded by emotions.
