Description

hard wood, reddish brown patina, carved with longitudinal grooves, skewed ending spread with resin, two drilled holes, slightly dam.;
the “nula nula” have been used in hand combat, and are capable of splitting a shield, killing or stunning large prey. Other uses are for ceremonies. Men will wave these above their heads to ward off evil spirits. Sometimes the “nula nula” can be used as a digging tool, to dig up bush tuckers that are underground such as the bush potato.
