Pigmented, wooden boomerang
Boomerangs are a symbol of Australia recognised by people around the world. The boomerang features in Aboriginal creation stories; for Aboriginal people, the boomerang is as old as the continent and symbolises their cultural endurance. Carving and colouring of boomerangs differs across the continent; the styles of decoration are as varied as the individual makers.
