Materials
About 12 cm kuripe in Chonta or Palo Sangre wood, decorated with amethyst or white quartz, turquoise, beads and a cord.
- Chonta woodBlack or grey wood sold as 'Chonta'; in the Amazon the name is usually applied to palm wood.
About this material
'Chonta' is a common name in Peru and the wider Amazon for the hard, dark wood of certain palms, so botanical identification varies and the species is not stated. The product description gives the colour as black or grey.
- Palo Sangre woodRed-toned wood sold as 'Palo Sangre' (roughly 'blood wood'); the species is not stated in the product description.
About this material
'Palo Sangre' is Spanish for roughly 'blood wood' and is a common name for red-toned woods, so botanical identification varies and the species is not stated. The product description gives the colour as red and offers it as an alternative to Chonta. Some Tepi Shipibo texts write 'Palo Santo (red)'.
- AmethystAmethyst, the purple variety of quartz.
About this material
Amethyst is the purple variety of quartz (silicon dioxide), coloured by traces of iron in the crystal. The product description says the decoration on this kuripe is amethyst or white quartz, so the stone can differ between pieces.
- White quartzWhite quartz, a very common mineral (silicon dioxide), milky to translucent.
About this material
Quartz is silicon dioxide, one of the most common minerals in the Earth's crust. White or milky quartz is opaque to translucent. The product description lists it as the alternative to amethyst in the decoration of this kuripe.
- TurquoiseTurquoise, an opaque blue-to-green mineral used as a gemstone and in ornaments for thousands of years.
About this material
Turquoise is a hydrated copper aluminium phosphate mineral, opaque and blue to green in colour. It has been used in jewellery and ornaments in many cultures for thousands of years. The product description does not say whether the stones are untreated or stabilised.
- Beads (mostacilla)Small beads used as ornament; the product descriptions do not state what they are made of.
About this material
In Spanish, 'mostacilla' means small seed beads, which are typically glass and are widely used in Amazonian and Andean beadwork. The product description mentions only bead ornamentation and does not state what the beads are made of.
- CordA carrying or wearing cord; the product descriptions do not state its fibre.
About this material
The product description mentions a cord (in one case a black cord) but does not say what it is made of, so no fibre is claimed here.
