KUMARUARA AMAZONIAN ART
Joy, dynamism, and the charm of the jungle's weaver bird.
The Voo do Japiim earrings captivate with their subtle lightness and vibrant presence. Meticulously handcrafted with glass beads in a combination of radiant yellow, black, and white, their upper design unfolds a sophisticated architecture of diamonds from which long, cascading fringes flow. As they move, they emulate the graceful flight of the Japiim, an iconic weaver bird of the Amazon known for its brilliant feathers and melodious spirit.
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, Voo do Japiim 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.
