Greenstone - Breast Plate - Bound - Medium
The breastplate is a powerful symbol of physical and symbolic protection. Worn over the torso, it reflects the importance of balance, harmony and wellbeing.
Beautifully hand carved in Hokitika, South Island, Aotearoa New Zealand by Donna Summers. As a child Donna was taught that pounamu is a precious taonga, a sacred gift that is passed down through the generations. While working with creating the traditional motifs she takes inspiration from the location where she grew up, whether it was spending hours at the beach fossicking or out in the far north wilderness.
Her work continues to evolve. Donna's intuitive carving reflects her skilled eye for beautiful design. Her pieces speak for themselves.
New Zealand Greenstone sourced from the Arahura River, West Coast of the South Island.
Each piece is unique and individual, no two pieces are the same.
