Thanks for the info KokathaMan and Niko. It was given to me by a friend who used to travel a lot in the outback of Australia. He told me it cost him quite a few bob and a few favours so I have no idea how much it cost him. It's monetary value is irrelevant to me. I was more interested in whether it was as good an example of fine Aboriginal Art as he indicated all those years ago.
It does look to be done in traditional materials or at least that is what it looks like to me. Under a 20x binocular microscope it has bits of grit or rock the same colour as the surrounding 'pigment'.
I have taken good care of it as he said that is what I should do with it.
If it was very 'priceless' now, I would be willing to donate it back to where more people could see it.
