This item is a very old hardwood club from New South Wales. This type of club has a bulbous head and a chiseled handle grip on the pointed end. It is often called a throwing club but I think it was used without being thrown. Sometimes, this type of club is called a Nula Nula. It was made in the 19th Century using stone tools. The entire length has very fine longitudinal grooves made by stone tools except for the circumferential grooved handle. This club is in very nice condition. There are very few marks from impact and no cracks. The two ends are slightly blunted. There is a collection tag "100" midway along the length. It is one of the nicest Aboriginal clubs I have seen. It is also slightly larger than most Aboriginal clubs in my collection. I purchased this club from the Barclay Gallery in 1986.
