Kurdaitcha

The eye of a Murray cod and flesh from a fresh corpse is coated in a paste made from fish oil and red ochre and attached to the end of the bone.

The burial was of a young person of high status but it is unclear if the bone was the cause of death or if it had been used in a ritual post mortem.
