Miniature Hand-Made Maori Boomerang

This small contemporary, wooden boomerang handmade in the early 2000s is beautifully decorated with pyrographic (wood-burnt) spiritual images sacred to the Maori people of Australia. A boomerang is a tool, typically constructed as a flat air foil that, when thrown, is designed to spin about an axis perpendicular to the direction of its flight. A returning boomerang is designed to return to the thrower. It is well known as a hunting tool used by the Maori. Boomerangs have been historically used not only for hunting but also for sport and entertainment. They are commonly thought of as an Australian icon.
