THE WOOD DOSEN'T LOOK LIKE WHAT IS USED IN AUSTRALIA OR NEW GUINEA. THE ITEM STRIKES ME AS A TOOL OF SOME SORT. MY BEST GUESS WOULD BE A STICK USED WITH A BACKSTRAP LOOM, LOOKS LIKE IT HAS SEEN A LOT OF USE. THE OTHER POSSIBILITYS A POT STIRRER OR A SPATULA. ALL JUST GUESSES ON MY PART

this could be absolute bullshit, but for some reason when I saw that I thought of wooden sticks people sometimes used to use to tenderize fibers before weaving...

like I said, probably bullshit...

Funny you should say that, I thought of the little slide for pushing the yarn down tight on a small hand-frame loom!

Possibly a dual purpose ethnic weavers stick!
