Note:
With the high cost of shipping many of our customers choose to ship by USPS. For small and light shipments this is usually less expensive, but please be aware that their estimates are often wrong and their service can be very slow (sixteen days for Priority Mail from Philadelphia to New York City recently). The service is not always as economical as it may appear, particularly on larger or more valuable shipments. USPS estimates only include insurance up to $100 for its domestic shipments. If you ask for full insurance we will recalculate the shipping cost and send you an invoice for any difference in cost. For overseas shipments USPS will not insure for over $650. On request we can get estimates for overseas shipping from DHL.

Kené is an ancient art representing nature and living culture of the Shipibo-Konibo people of the Amazon basin of Peru.  "Kené means designs and is the name for the geometric patterns that identify my ethnicity," explains artist Olinda Silvano Inuma de Arias.  The artwork is inspired by the ingestion of plants such as ayahuasca, which Amazonian tribes have used for centuries for spiritual purposes.
