Photos of artifacts from Barambah/Cherbourg Mission


Pair of scrimshawed cow horns

Pair of scrimshawed cow horns

Reference Number: CH1

Size: Both measure 28 cm in length.

Provenance: These horns came from the estate of a family on the Sunshine Coast.
The Brisbane Museum has a similar pair of horns (QE-3344-0), almost certainly scrimshawed by the same artist. The provenance on the Brisbane Museum horns states that they were acquired in 1939 but had been carved at Barambah Station / Cherbourg approximately 40 years before.
