A Fine Old First Australian Woomera Cape York Peninsula Queensland

This fine old Woomera is of elegant form and carved from hardwood, the top has the original wood peg where the spear is slotted when used. The woomera extends your arm’s length and greatly increases the distance the spear will travel.  The bottom has a cut bailer shell that is kept in place with resin or wax.  This type of woomera with the shell handle is unique to the Cape York Peninsula area in the Gulf of Carpenteria Queensland. Early 20th Century
