Kuripe - Ararunart

Kuripe - Ararunart

This beautiful and delicately finished kuripe was made by our favorite female artisan. She used bamboo decorated with pyrography and leather for the finishing. Handmade with a lot a care and eye for detail!

In the indigenous Tupi language Arara means macaw and Una means black. Therefore Araruna is a black macaw.

The Hyacinth Macaw stands out not only for its beauty, but for being the largest parrot in the world – it can measure up to a meter in length and weigh 1.5 kg! Its dark blue feathers make it look black from a distance.

Araruna is also the indigenous given name for the maker of this kuripe. She is from the northeastern state Maranhão. Her studio is called Ararunart.

Il peut y avoir de légères différences d'un lot à l'autre puisqu'il s'agit d'un produit artisanal.
