Primitive Shoulder Yoke

Antique wooden shoulder yoke to hold water, milk or other goods suspended and balanced on each side. Primitive farm yoke maybe c late 1800s - early 1900s. We make no claims of date or origin. We have used our best judgement based on our research. Please look at all photos to make determination for yourself. 

Has a carving on it that almost looks Asian but I am completely unsure of origin. You can see the indentations on each end from the weigh of items carried.

Some cracking but seems to hold together great. 

54" long, 3.5" x 2"
