This item is a heavy hardwood club with an unusual lens
shaped cross section and a smooth surface finish. It has a
handle made out of Spinifex grass gum, similar to what is
found on many Woomera spear throwers. It is most likely from
Western Queensland with an age of 50-75 years. This item is
in excellent condition and without damage except for a small
sliver of wood that has naturally lifted off of one of the
faces. This is one of the most unusual Aboriginal clubs we
have ever seen because of the Spinifex handle and lenticular
cross section. It is similar to an artifact that sold on
eBay that was called a Dance
Wand. Length = 64 cm ; Weight = 386 gm.
