This item is a very old hardwood club from New South Wales. This type of club has a bulbous head and a chiseled handle grip on the pointed end. It is often called a throwing club but I think it was used without being thrown. Sometimes, this type of club is called a Nula Nula. It was made in the 19th Century using stone tools. The entire length has very fine longitudinal grooving made by stone tools. The circumferential grooving on the handle may have been chiseled using metal tools? This club is in very nice condition. There are very few marks from impact and no cracks. The two ends have minimal blunting. It is one of the nicest Aboriginal clubs I have seen. I purchased this club from the Barclay Gallery in 1987.
I purchased, sold and traded a large number of artifacts over 50 years. I no longer add artifacts to my collection. All of the artifact I am currently selling are from my personal collection and they are the cream of the crop. No junk here. Check out my other auctions to see my other artifact sales. I will be listing more in the near future. Please note: I try to charge actual shipping costs on all items. To save on shipping, you can purchase multiple items and wait until I send you an invoice. No international shipping. The winning bidder agrees to make contact with me within 2 days of the end of the auction and/or to make payment within 4 days. I will leave feedback after the buyer receives their item and leaves positive feedback for me. Check out my other auction items. I often list similar items in other categories. Most of my listings include collectibles from the Panama Canal Zone, artifacts, books, stamps and coins. This includes boomerangs, license plates, molas, celts, slings and Aboriginal items. If an item does not sell, I often relist it within a month at a lower price. Good luck and many thanx for purchasing my eBay items. |
