Descripción
This is a yoke, used for carrying buckets about the farm, most commonly in the dairy. The yoke was carried on the shoulders and the buckets hung on chains at either end. The arched cut out shape in the wooden body fits around the carrier's neck, and the chain attachments are fixed so that the one on the left projects forwards and that on the right backwards. This example was found in old house at Ashwater Barton in Devon
