Boomerang Decorated with Hunters and Kangaroo 1936

This boomerang, created by Albert Namatjira in 1936, is a significant example of Aboriginal art. The intricate design depicts scenes of traditional hunting, showcasing a kangaroo pursued by hunters and dogs. The dark, carved lines against the rich wood create a striking contrast, highlighting the artistry and cultural significance of this piece. Namatjira's work, often depicting landscapes and Aboriginal life, gained international recognition and helped to elevate Indigenous art onto the world stage. This boomerang embodies his artistic vision and serves as a window into the traditions and stories of the Aboriginal people.
