Caduceus Snake Kuripe (self applicator for hapé/rapé snuff)

A giant majestic design carved from a single block of the wood shows the magnificent giant kuripe features two snakes wrapping around each other.

Caduceus - the staff of Hermes.
The caduceus is associated with magic and above all, with alchemy. In alchemical symbolism, the caduceus represents the elemental, or prime matter. The two snakes were thought to symbolize chaos. The two serpents are shown to be fighting, yet as they are wrap around the staff they are believed to be in equilibrium. To the medieval alchemist, this represented the reconciliation of two opposing qualities or elements, which was one of the aims of alchemy.

May your life be alchemy. Transmutation of all, through Love.
