This hunting boomerang, or throwstick, was made out of Mulga, a dense hardwood found in the Central Desert of Australia. Both surfaces have a rough hewn adze finish. Based on color and construction, it was probably made in the early 20th Century. I acquired this boomerang in 1998 from Rob Croll, a well known collector from Melbourne. This boomerang is in very nice condition. There are no chips or dings other than minor construction marks. A very nice example of a Central Desert throwstick.
