Dedo de moça is a Brazilian pepper known for its bright color and gentle heat. The name translates to "young lady's finger," a nod to its slender, curved shape.
Each pepper here is carved from wood by hand, then painted and knotted onto a braided cord with wooden beads marking its length. No two carvings match exactly. The blade leaves its own trace in every curve.
Hang it from a single nail near a doorway or kitchen corner, anywhere that could use a little color and weight. It sways slightly when the door opens. That's the point.
