Material culture is very diversified. The Palikur know how to make different types of plaitwork, basketry, ceramic pots, bamboo and bone flutes, facial stamps made on small wooden blocks, clubs, shields, bow and arrow, headdresses of various types of feathers, cerimonial benches, canoes, etc.. They are the only Indians in the region who know how to make the great pots for caxihi (fermented drink made from manioc, indispensible for the festivals of Turé, for the payment of collective work parties, and in the political assemblies) which are used mainly by the Karipuna, who are among the few people of the region who hold the ritual of Turé.

If a new meaning is not attributed to the objects of material culture, such as the production for commercialization or exposition in a museum, it is not known for how long the Palikur will be able to retain the knowledge of the techniques for production of these materials. With the exception of the plaitwork, canoes, and bow and arrow, all of which are objects of use, a great part of this material culture is related to the ancient rituals, which were abolished many years ago. Today, only some elder men and women still remember certain techniques of production.
