A lovely Breastplate from a beautiful piece of Kawakawa stone. I just love the notches which adorn the rim of this piece.

A breast plate signified strength and protection in battle. Today they still hold this symbolism but more as a representative scale.

Genuine West Coast Greenstone – Kawakawa. A dark rich green with varying intermediate shades, named after the leaf of the Kawakawa. It is the main type used in gem purposes.
