Very Good. Apparently this and the other boomerang on offer were bought by diggers during a stop over in Alice Springs in 1944. A lovely boomerang with a kangaroo and emu. Some scuff marks to the front across the middle. Looks like where this scrape has gone across the emu the paint has been touched up, maybe on the grass near the kangaroo too. Some white paint specks to the rear. A great piece of aboriginal work. Grade: N/A Estimate: $$60.00 - $75.00
