This hand crafted painted hunting boomerang was made by Turkey Tolson Tjupurrula in 1983.
Boomerangs can be variously used as hunting weapons for hunting larger prey, such as kangaroo, were used for small prey as well. The hunting boomerang can fly in a nearly straight path when thrown horizontally and are heavy enough to take down a kangaroo on impact to the legs or knees. For hunting emu, the boomerang is aimed toward the bird's neck, in an attempt to break it. Decorated boomerangs also play an important part in ceremonies.
