Description:
A rare fishing boomerang, possibly South Australia, carved hardwood, 59.1 cm high. For two related examples see Philip Jones, boomerang;, Behind an Australian Icon, Ten speed Press, California, 1997, pp. 52-53, where he describes the illustrated examples as being from Broome, Western Australia., The minimalistic incised designs on this boomerang indicate a more south-east origin, possibly South Australia, making this a very scarce example.
