Handmade product.
Las Szamana is one of the few producers in Poland creating Tepi from this exceptional wood.
Vatica cemara, known as Cemara wood, is an exotic type of wood valued for its durability, stability, and natural, warm appearance. It mainly occurs in tropical regions of Southeast Asia, where wood of a similar character is used in craftsmanship, construction, functional objects, and decorative elements.
Cemara wood stands out for its good durability, resistance to everyday use, and attractive grain pattern. After hand processing, it gains a pleasant smoothness, while its natural structure gives each piece an individual appearance. It is a material that works well in ceremonial objects, where both durability and contact with a natural raw material matter.
The "CRAB" model was created for people who feel connected to the symbolism of protection, intuition, boundaries, and the ability to move between different worlds. The crab lives at the meeting point of water and earth, which is why it has long been associated with emotions, sensitivity, safety, and the ability to sense what is happening beneath the surface.
The symbolism of the crab carries the power of a protective shell, but also a soft inner world. It is a reminder that sensitivity is not weakness. Sometimes the greatest strength lies in knowing when to open up, when to withdraw, and when to set a clear boundary. The crab teaches wise movement through emotions, relationships, and one’s own energetic space.
Combined with Cemara wood, this model gains a stable, natural, and protective character. The wood emphasizes the earthy dimension of this symbol, while the Crab form brings the energy of alertness, intuition, and calm defense of one’s own space.
Each Tepi is handmade, so individual pieces may slightly differ in shade, grain pattern, details, and finish. This is a natural feature of working with wood, making every product unique and giving it its own character.
