Ceremonial Tumi (knife) and jaguar head

Handcrafted in brass, 11 cm tall and 8 cm wide, this ceremonial Tumi (ritual knife) with a jaguar head carries a powerful and sacred energy. The Tumi is a symbolic tool in Andean traditions, known for being used in rituals as a channel for power, protection, and transformation. In this form, with the jaguar's head, the knife gains even deeper significance. The jaguar, a mighty and courageous animal, symbolizes strength, inner power, and the ability to clear the way through the unknown.

The jaguar head on the Tumi also represents protection and spiritual sharpness, the ability to see beyond the visible and maintain a strong connection to both the material and spiritual worlds. In the hands of the learned shaman, the Tumi is not just a tool but a living energy used for healing, cleansing, and balancing both body and soul.

This ceremonial Tumi is a potent object to place on your altar or use as a focusing force in your spiritual practice. Let its presence remind you of your own inner strength and your ability to navigate between worlds, as well as the importance of protecting and carrying forward sacred wisdom.
