This hunting boomerang, or throwstick, was probably made in the mid 1900s in South Australia or in a neighboring state. It lacks the adze marks that is found on Western and Central Desert artifacts. The workmanship is good. This was probably a small, general use throwstick made for hunting birds, or skinning animals. The wood is dark with blonde edges and is similar to the boomerangs that were sold by the Yalata Mission, but this one does not have any art. There are a few small surface/edge blemishes as expected.
