Emu Caller Hand-Painted 30cmL

This timber artifact made from the eucalyptus tree and naturally hollowed by termites was used for calling emus who could hear its sound up to 200 metres away. They are very inquisitive birds. The sound is made by twice slapping quickly one end of the emu caller with the hollow of the hand and repeating. This action makes a throaty sound similar to the sound of the emu. The emu comes to investigate. Traditionally hand-crafted and painted by artist Murruppi. Artwork will vary.
