This tjurunga has been pierced at one end to serve as a hummer or rhombus.
An archaic musical instrument spun in a circle with a string to produce a deep sound representing the way of the Dreamtime spirits.
Decorated with circles and lines, it is engraved on both sides. A hole at the top allows it to be used as a rhombus.
