The kodj and leangle with parrying shield. Multi-view three-dimensional reconstruction and corresponding frontal and sagittal plane dimensions (mm) of the leangle (left) and parrying shield (centre) fabricated in southeastern Australia (Swan Hill, Victoria) is generally found in the green oval. The kodj (right) is found in the red oval with the example utilised in this experiment fabricated in southwestern Australia (Albany, Western Australia). The leangle and parrying shield are carved from hardwood. The kodj handle is carved from wattle wood, and a sharpened boya (stone) blade is attached to one side and a blunt boya edge to the other with balga (Xanthorrhoea grass tree) resin.
