KUMARUARA AMAZONIAN ART
Joy, vitality, and the exuberance of the jungle.
The Manto do Papagaio earrings capture the vibrant essence of the Amazon canopy. Meticulously handcrafted with glass beads in a palette of forest green, solar yellow, ivory white, and black accents, their upper design features an imposing geometric diamond from which long, cascading fringes fall, evoking the striking plumage of the parrot as it spreads its mantle over the treetops.
This piece was created by the Kumaruara Tribe of the Muruari village, in the Lower Tapajós, Amazon. Each stroke transforms the material into a canvas of memory, spirituality, and deep connection with the forest.
More than a ceremonial jewel, Manto do Papagaio is a living manifesto. Just as the bat disperses the kumarú seed throughout the jungle to sustain the ecosystem, this piece carries a message of strength, resistance, and the identity of native peoples. An unrepeatable work designed to adorn the body with belonging and rooted art.
