Central Desert Australia Wooden Churinga-Aboriginal Art-Oceanic Art
These days what I look for in Australian aboriginal churingas are unusual and beautiful carved decorations and just importantly--wider, almost round, overall shapes. This one is very thin, wonderfully carved on both sides and with the fat oval shape I love. It dates to the early 20th century, is 13 1/8” (33.2 cm) in height and sells for $3800.
