An authentication certificate is supplied for each black wattle hooked hunting boomerang, providing details about the heritage and background of the creator of this authentic Australian made Aboriginal artifact.
These traditionally made hooked hunting "Killer" boomerangs are made by 80 years old Aboriginal Elder, Joe Skeen Snr, whose late father, William Skeen, taught him this tradition as a young boy.
Joe Skeen and his family spend many days along river banks looking for the right shaped black wattle roots that Joe can shape in the traditional manner that he was taught over 70 years ago.
Joe Skeen is a Kuku-Thaypan elder and third generation Aboriginal boomerang maker!
This is a traditional hunting and killing boomerang. It is meant outlet to travel in the direction thrown and not return to the thrower.
This type of boomerangs is designed to curve very slightly when thrown. This allows it to stay in the air long enough to cover a larger distance. Australian Aboriginal people used these large boomerangs to hunt birds, kangaroos and emus.
Non-returning boomerangs are larger and heavier than the returning boomerangs and have a distinct hook shape.
