Description:
Digital photo of a ''go ashore pot" found in the sandhills by the Waitohu Stream. Owned by Ray Moffat (OHJ vol 42: 67)

The round shape and handles made this an ideal cooking pot for early settlers and local Maori.

The name could be based on the te reo word kohua, a pot for boiling food.
