However, from pictures made at the time and descriptions it seems the gorget was crescent-shaped and inscribed ‘Bungaree, Chief of the Broken Bay Tribe, 1815’. The Russian explorers who met Bungaree in 1820 claimed it was made from copper and hung around his neck on a red copper chain. [9] However, a later source claimed it was brass, suspended on a brass chain and inscribed ‘Bungaree, King of the Blacks’, being decorated with ‘the arms of the colony of New South Wales, an emu and a kangaroo’. [10] It is possible also the Bungaree had two gorgets.<br /><br />Bungaree may have been the first Aboriginal person to be presented with a gorget because he had a long history of service with naval explorations undertaken by officers associated with the colony" - http://www.nma.gov.au/online_features/aboriginal_breastplates/king_bungaree_and_matoraLes Miserablehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15342095581111104405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2828379697267654540.post-43073805857860058032018-01-11T07:43:21.876-08:002018-01-11T07:43:21.876-08:00Fabulous!
