Kōuma Kahurangi - Greenstone Breastplate Pendant

Sands Carving Studio

Kōuma are breastplates or shield adornments that represent strength and leadership. Evolving from personal body armour, they are a taonga of personal protection that share their beauty with te ao tūroa (the outer world). 

This kōuma was carved by Chris Taylor from kahurangi pounamu. With a semi-gloss finish, the pendant measures 95mm by 48mm and has a hand-plaited adjustable cord.
