Manitou Manzanita Wood Tepi with Bismuth

Handcrafted from Manitou Manzanita wood, this ceremonial tepi embodies the strength and spirit of the high desert. Adorned with shimmering bismuth, a crystalline metal known for its rainbow fractal patterns, this piece bridges earth’s grounding energy with multidimensional light and transformation.

Manzanita symbolizes resilience, rootedness, and renewal, while bismuth encourages focus, transformation, and energetic alignment. Together, they invite clarity, protection, and beauty into every breath of your prayer or hapé ceremony.

Locally sourced and handmade with love in Colorado Springs. Lalata Kuripes brings the creation from our heart to your hands.
