Hand Carved New Zealand Greenstone Breastplate by Donna Summers

The Kōuma/Breastplate represents both physical and symbolic protection for the wearer. Worn over the chest, like armour, it offers strength, guidance and power.

The Koru represents the unfurling of the new fern frond and symbolises growth, abundance, new beginnings and harmony.

Beautifully hand carved in Hokitika, South Island Aotearoa by Donna Summers. As a child, Donna was taught of Pounamu as precious taonga, a sacred gift to be passed down through the generations.  Alongside her interpretation of traditional motifs, she takes inspiration the whenua (land) where she grew up, whether it was spending hours fossicking at the beach or out in the wilderness of the Far North.

New Zealand Greenstone sourced from the West Coast of South Island, New Zealand. Presented in a flax kete.

Each piece is unique and individual, no two pieces are the same.

Approximate measurements - 9.5cm width x 5cm height. Adjustable neck cord; hand-woven and band bound.

Made in Aotearoa, New Zealand.
