Indians For Guns

May I present, A Boomerang, right from Australia, with aboriginal art works.

Hi debjeet,

Its beautiful. Which part of Australia you live in.

I am in Kolkata. One of my Australian friends sent it as a gift. The art work is intricate and lovely. It's real aboriginal I am told. It's a rare item to be found in India. Though I am literally dying to try it out, yet the prospect of damaging it deters me

Very nice collection,congrats.You reminded me my favorite tv program of childhood days.By the way there is some particular method of holding and throwing it but can't remember now.

That was nice.

Very Nice!
That is a work of art.
I wouldn't want to throw it.

Goodness, that is art! Don't throw it! It is truly lovely.

Not only in Australia....
We,Tamils also had that weapon,named Valari.That tradition was destroyed by the British.
Made by wooden and Iron,wooden were used against small animals and iron were used against humans
My avatar picture also the Valari...
See the Links......

Nice Boomerang Debjeet.
I have two --- one is meant for display and other flies at time
The art work is excellent. Follow the advice from XL and Timmy.
