Overview

A rectangular piece of timber which has a U-shaped metal rod at each end of the timber. The timber has been shaped to fit over the shoulders of the bullocks and the U-shaped metal rods are secured to the timber by a larger piece of metal on one side of the rod which stops the rod from being pulled out and a strap of leather is tied above the piece of metal. In the middle of the timber is a large metal ring which is connected to a metal hook which is nailed to the timber.
