Superb Old Australian Aboriginal Clubs from the 19th Century Australia

Superb Old Australian Aboriginal Clubs from the 19th Century  ( these can be sold as a collection of fice or individually)

Australian Aboriginal Clubs come in many shapes & sizes from the many language groups across the continent of Australia.  Clubs were mainly made for hunting or warfare but also used for dance & ceremonies.

Some varieties were used for hand-to-hand combat, and smaller, lightweight throwing clubs which were employed in both warfare and hunting. Throwing clubs were projectile weapons hurled at human enemies or game from a distance to strike an incapacitating blow. Like many clubs, this work has a pointed, bulbous head intended to deliver a powerful blow to the target. The shaft and head are adorned with incised designs. These might have been purely decorative, but, like many designs in Aboriginal Art, they had deeper cultural significance.

Large boomerang-shaped Clubs from South Australia are some of the most beautiful large clubs.

Here you see Clubs from various areas like South-eastern Australia, Queensland & Central Australia, each club is beautiful & unique.

See my new EXHIBITIONS GALLERY  showing the Museums and Art Galleries Exhibitions that I provided artworks for over the past 40 years. There is the link to the article about my artworks published in the prestigious Louvre Magazine in 1996

I have artwork for Museums and art Galleries but also for collectors at every stage of their collecting. I want to encourage people to explore the fine art of New Guinea & West Papua and the Pacific Islands and to be able to see and touch the artworks in a relaxed and friendly manner in my Sydney Gallery. I would like to invite you to visit my gallery and see the artworks in person and also look at my website www.oceanicartsaustralia.com where there are many Galleries & Sub Galleries to explore.

My Gallery of nearly 40 years is the last physical gallery in Sydney that specializes in New Guinea and Oceanic Art.  Sydney is very close to New Guinea & the Pacific Islands where all of these amazing artworks came from, Australia’s closest neighbors.
