Add color and culture to any room in the house with a handmade ceramic Shipibo Tea Light Holder from Peru. The Shipibo tribe, one of Peru's most ancient ethnic peoples, maintains a strong tribal identity, ancient shamanic traditions, and an enduring sense of community and collective wisdom. Likewise, Shipibo artisans share a common artistic inspiration that allows them to collaborate on large pieces, working interchangeably to develop cohesive arts and ceramics that many think have been hand-painted by a single artist. Measures 2" high x 4 3/4" diameter. Available in cherry, green, and white. Handmade in Peru and fair trade imported. Shipibo art is well-known for its intricate designs, yet little understood by the outside world. Some anthropologists consider the geometric patterns an ancient language form; others speculate they represent an ancient cosmology, the mapping of the Amazon rivers, or the shapes of an Anaconda.
