Large Wooden Plate with Aborigine and Boomerang - D. Konigson



Unusual, and of some vintage by the looks of it, large wooden plate featuring an inscribed rather than cut, image of an Australian aborigine about to throw a boomerang. It is signed "D. Konigson" and on the back in very neat cursive script is "Australian Aborigine throwing a boomerang".  It's quite a primitive piece of work and rather faint so you consider wanting to rub some stain into the lines to bring out the design. It has been around a few years, the back is extensively scratched and has several holes from where t's been hung. There are also a couple of cracks on the front and it is slightly warped. An intriguing piece though, nonetheless.
