Te Kōuma Pounamu
Te Kōuma is a breastplate or chest piece. Your kōuma (chest) was always heavily guarded in battle, thus kōuma taonga were designed to protect the chest, the seat of life.
The strength of this kōuma offers mana, tiaki and whakapapa.
The size of the kōuma enhances the mana of the wearer, which in turn highlights the mana of the taonga.
Being a Kōuma this taonga protects(tiaki) and enhances the wairua around your heart.
With this taonga over your heart you will carry your whakapapa with you, stand strong, be proud of who you are and where you come from.
Inā kei te mohio koe ko wai koe, I anga mai koe I hea, kei te mohio koe, kei te anga atu ki hea.
If you know who you are and where you are from, then you will know where you are going.
