    Description

    EXTREMELY RARE, EXTREMELY GREAT CONDITION!
    Don't be fooled by fake boomerangs purposely aged to simulate an old
    boomerang, this is a "REAL" Boomerang.
    Has Koala Bear, Kangaroo, Bird (looks to be a Peacock, these were introduced to Australia in the British Colonial time periods) and Plants hand
    etched/carved/burned onto it.  The back side has what appears to be a name, could be the maker, area of origin, or otherwise, we don't know; there is also a
    number underneath which appears to be "16", don't know if this refers to a year or not.
    This is an Authentic Boomerang, not some cheap toy or knockoff.  This is the "REAL" deal.  This rare find came from an Estate of a Collector
    who searched Australia for only the rarest of finds.  An
    Archaeologist
    by trade he had an eye for the primitive, the rare and the most collectible
    items.  The Estate donated this item to us along with many other items.  The rest of the items have been donated to museums around the world.
    This precious piece shows the painstaking time put into creating the boomerang as well as the artistic nature of the tribal people, often referred
    to as Aboriginal Art.  These tribal artists don't just create patterns on the boomerang for beauty, no, it's much more than that.  They draw what they
    see in their everyday life, things that mean something to them, the living world around them.  This boomerang is in its original condition, no wood
    oil has been put on it, no gloss or satin sealer, it is simply the way it was obtained, natural.
    We have seen the big auction houses auction these particular types for ,800 to ,400+ in the past.  These particular items are so RARE that they hardly
    come up for auction any more.  Auction houses take an upfront fee for 'restoring' items, which can be 0-0+ upfront, then an appraisal fee,
    then the auction fee itself.  You can see how everything dwindles away.  We're selling this item for a low cost to the buyer and this piece will have
    a new loving home.  We know that if you're looking at this ad then you are one of those people that truly care about art and heritage.
    We thank you.
