This beautiful art boomerang, titled "Adders Tongue", was made in 1998 out of Birch plywood in the shape of a triblader with a flower extension on the elbow. The art depicts a small plant found in Michigan called the Trout Lilly. This plant is one of the first out of the ground in the Spring. It produces a flower in May and then dies back until the following year. This boomerang is in excellent condition and it is probably a very good flyer. Pat gave this boomerang to my wife when he moved to Ann Arbor soon after it was made. A wonderful art collectible.
