Descrizione
Yokes like this were used for carrying buckets about the farms, most commonly in the dairy. The yoke was carried on the shoulders and the buckets hung on the 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 described as common in Shrivenham area.
