Description: | Incised curved abstract pattern CULT Australian aboriginal: Bidungu probably 19th century Inland north of the Murchison River, North-west Australia A bull roarer is mainly used by the male members of the tribe for sacred purposes. It often accompanies the didgeridoo in ceremonies to ward off evil spirits. It is swung in a circle and makes a humming noise which goes up or down depending on the speed at which it is travelling. The low frequency of the sound means that it can travel very long distances. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | SPINE_CLEMENT : MUSIC : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
