Aboriginal Crafts Aborigines bring skill and imagination to the making of practical utensils and hunting implements, shown in the details depicted in the Aboriginal craft stamps. The basket and belt are deftly woven from reeds, grasses and bark fibres in contrasting colours. Painted designs add interest to texture, on the belt, wooden bowl and wooden shield. The spearthrower relies on carving for its decoration.
