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 "SNAKE" model was created for people who feel connected to the symbolism of transformation, instinct, renewal, and deep connection with nature. The snake has long symbolized change, shedding the old, inner strength, and the ability to move through successive stages of development with greater awareness.

Tepi made of crocodile wood combines the expressiveness of the material, the precision of handcrafting, and the ceremonial character of the form. Each piece may slightly differ in grain pattern, shade, and finishing details, because wood is a natural and unique material.
