A boomerang thrown with force could cause an opponent serious injury or even kill them. Some boomerangs were designed to return and these were used for hunting. Boomerangs can also be used in pairs as clapsticks, either beaten together to produce a rhythm or shaken together for a rattling sound. They would accompany the didgeridoo and bull roarer to produce music for special ceremonies. | 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: | HUNTING : CEREMONIAL : SPINE_CLEMENT : WEAPON : MUSIC : DIDGERIDOO : TOOL : | 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 |
