This non-returning Aboriginal boomerang ( throwstick ) is
from northern Western Australia. It was most likely made in
the early 20th Century. The wood has a beautiful cellular
grain, similar to Lacewood or Silky Oak, but the wood has
darkened considerably because of it's age. You can see the
grain in the photo below. Both surfaces are very smooth and
the airfoil profiling is superb. This throwstick is in
excellent condition. There is no impact damage or edge
chipping, just a few light scratches. This throwstick was
originally purchased from the famous McAlister collection
when the collection first came up for sale in Perth in 1990.
There are no collection numbers on this throwstick.
