Old rare Australian Aboriginal clap sticks, beautiful patina, fine sound heavy

  
While I have not really made an effort to find Australian material (not my main area of collecting), I have never seen an older pair of bilma or clap sticks. I have see older didgeridoos, and clubs, boomerangs, etc. The larger of the pair is about 13.4" long and the smaller is about 11.4".

There is a stable crack in the larger one (see images), but it has obviously been used since and I have used them briefly and they seem to hold up fine. Very dense heavy hard wood, winderful patina from decades of use. Almost a ringing metallic sound to them. Or, you can contact me and perhaps we can work something out. Images are part of the description.
