One of the most curious of American Indian weapons is the throw...- ing club, "boomerang," called pittc kohu (pi. 44, fig. 4, Cat. No.
126348 U.S.N.M.). It is made of oak, Quer(yu8 gambelli^ a very hard tough wood, presenting great obstacles to working, especially with the crude tools and appliances of the Hopi. The club is flat, about one-half inch thick, and the curve is produced by working from wood selected for its natural bend. At one end a hand-grip is cut and the other end is usually apexed. The club is smoothly finished, often polished, and is painted red with a customary — ^perhaps prescribed — design in black, representing rabbit feet.
