Mutumbajoy, meaning “tiger force” in the Inga dialect, is a powerful ancestral symbol traditionally worn by the authorities of knowledge within the Kamentsá Inga community. This woven beaded bracelet embodies strength, wisdom, and spiritual leadership.
Handcrafted by Indigenous Kamentsá Inga artisans from the Corregimiento de Jamundino, Colombia, each bracelet is meticulously woven using the traditional guanga weaving technique, a practice passed down through generations. For the Kamentsá Inga people, creativity is a vital way to preserve cultural identity, honor ancestral knowledge, and maintain a deep connection to the land they cultivate.
Ethically made in small batches, every Mutumbajoy bracelet carries subtle variations that reflect the artisan’s hand, making each piece truly unique and rich in meaning.
