Boomerang ·  Australia, Riverine · ID: 3040162

Description

wood, reddish brown patina, hook-shaped, on both sides covered by incised lines, cross fluted on either end, slightly dam.;
the Australian boomerang eliminated the need to carry a number of different tools. It was used as a knife, a hammer or club, a digging tool, for making fire by friction, for musical accompaniment as a percussion instrument - as well as its main function as a hunting or fighting weapon. Beyond their obvious utilitarian functions, Aboriginal boomerangs often serve as objects of social and religious significance.
