Stepping outside of the box is what we do, and this Taonga is a great example of that. Simple yet different is a combination that displays a finese of character. We hope you love this Taonga as much as we do.

The Kotiate was a prized weapon favored by Rangatira (Maori chiefs) when speech-making. It is also a pre-European weapon used for close combat. The carved notches were apparently so they got entwined with the combatant's intestines, as per the translation of the word kotiate, which means "to cut liver."
In most cases, our Kotiate are purchased to be gifted as birthday gifts, leaving/welcoming gifts, celebrations, and corporate events.
A signed and dated Certificate of Authenticity will come with this Taonga.
