A Tepi pipe is a hape' pipe that is used to administer medicine to someone else in a ceremonial setting. They are made from a variety of different materials depending on the region and the maker. They can be made from bone, bamboo, wood, gourd, or even stone. In most parts of the Amazon, tepi's are carved out of wood, or bone. You can find Tepi pipes with very beautiful decorations and sacred items such as ayahuasca vine, crystals, bead work and carvings.
