A stunning Kouma (Breastplate) from a magnificent piece of Raukaraka Pounamu. A wonderful design with amazing colours in the stone, which truly enhances this wonderful carving.
Kouma/Breastplate - signifies strength and protection in battle. Today they still hold this symbolism but more as a representative scale.
