Description: An Australian Aboriginal Central Desert Bullroarer Incised on Both Sides with a Geometric Design and Painted with Red Ochre.
Bullroarers are very similar to sacred churinga boards, but have a small hole drilled through one end which enables it to be whirled around by means of a string tied through it. This produces a loud humming sound which by aboriginal women is believed to be the voice of a dangerous spirit.
Provenance: Ex. Michael Hamson, USA
Ex. Private Belgian Collection.
