For a similar example of a boomerang see Phillip Jones, Boomerang: Behind an Australian Icon, Kent Town: Wakefield Press, 1996, p.93. Jones states,'Here the carver has achieved a fluid symmetry with these sinuous designs highlighted with pipeclay. The designs may represent the travels of a Dreaming Ancestor or the course of a river system' (ibid, p.93).
