COLLECTION OF ABORIGINAL BOOMERANGS AUSTRALIA carved wood, a selection of eight fine boomerangs of varying form (8)(largest 99.8cm long)Provenance: A private Scottish collection of Aboriginal boomerangs formed over the past thirty years Note: The boomerang is one of the most iconic forms from Aboriginal culture. Indeed, for Aboriginal people the boomerang is considered as old as the continent of Australia itself – with many of the creation myths regarding the formation of the Australian landmass featuring the weapon as a sculptor of the valleys and mountains. With a vast array of designs and sizes, the majority of boomerangs were not designed to return. They were used for the hunting of game, fish and even large marsupials such as kangaroo, boomerangs were also used in warfare, both as throwing weapons and larger heavier examples in hand-to-hand combat. They were further used for the starting of fire, in ritual dances and as percussive “clapper” instruments. These versatile objects even appear in rock art paintings which may be as early as 50,000 B.C., making the boomerang one of the longest continuous art forms on the planet.

A jade and gold-koftgari steel inlaid chess board North India, 19th Centuryof square form on four ball feet, the spinach jade and brown hardstone board set within a steel frame decorated in gold overlay with an undulating floral vine, the squares inlaid with mother of pearl flowerheads, purple velvet backing; the pieces carved in green and brown hardstone with silver finials the board 45.3 x 45.3 cm.(33)Footnotes:The history of chess can largely be divided into three periods, originating in India with the ancient Hindu game of Chaturanga, followed by the medieval Shatranj and concluding with the modern game as we now know it, which first emerged at the beginning of the 16th Century. From the start of the 19th Century, there was a large demand for decorative chess sets, commissioned by Western traders from Indian exporters. Inlaid flowers, stars, arabesques and figures often feature on Indian chessboards, as demonstrated by the floral motifs in this example. For further discussion see V. Keats, Chessmen for Collectors, London, 1985. An example of a 19th Century Indian jade chess table can be found in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (48.174.70).For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
