Handmade product.
Las Szamana® is one of the few producers in Poland creating Tepi from this exceptional wood.

Zanthoxylum rhetsa, also known as crocodile wood, is an exotic species valued for its unique appearance, distinct structure, and natural, raw character. The name of the wood refers to its surface and pattern, which resemble the texture of crocodile skin. It is a material that draws attention with its uniqueness and strong, wild aesthetic.
Crocodile wood is chosen for creating functional and ceremonial objects because of its durability, resistance, and original appearance. It works well with hand processing, and after proper finishing, it retains its natural grain and character, making each piece truly one of a kind.
The "CHINESE DRAGON" model was created for people who feel connected to the symbolism of wisdom, protection, prosperity, and powerful life energy. In Chinese tradition, the dragon is not a symbol of chaos or destruction, but a noble, protective, and royal being. It combines the strength of heaven, water, earth, and spirit, bringing associations with good fortune, courage, and harmonious movement of energy.
The symbolism of the Chinese dragon means conscious power that guides rather than dominates. It is the energy of leadership, alertness, protection, and mastery over one’s own fire. The dragon reminds us of courage combined with discernment, inner discipline, and strength that does not need to be aggressive in order to be real.
Combined with crocodile wood, this model gains a wild, expressive, and ceremonial character. The structure of the wood emphasizes its exotic nature, while the symbol of the Chinese dragon brings the energy of protection, good fortune, and conscious strength. It is a Tepi with a strong presence, combining natural material with deep symbolism.
Each Tepi is handmade, so individual pieces may slightly differ in grain pattern, shade, and finishing details, because wood is a natural and unique material.
