KUMARUARA AMAZONIAN ART
Vitality, ritual body paint, and the botanical strength of the territory.
The Sementes de Urucum earrings pay tribute to the most iconic plant of Amazonian body art. Handcrafted with glass beads featuring a bold contrast of crimson red, ivory white, and deep black, their lattice of concentric diamonds and straight fringes evokes the protective energy and vivid hue of urucum seeds.
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, Sementes de Urucum 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.
