Unknown wooden object

[Peter B.]

Last year I was on holiday in Stockholm and discovered an interesting decorative object in my hotel room:

A wooden object, about 1.5 meters long, slightly curved with pointed ends and a rectangular cutout in the middle.

The points are capped with iron, and to the right and left of the cutout are two horn spikes, attached with leather.

Does anyone have any idea what it could be?

At first, I thought it might be a carrying frame, but the sharp edges of the cutout would make it rather uncomfortable for that purpose.

There's also a sticker from the seller on the back, written in Chinese (?) script. Perhaps someone can read it?

Best regards
Peter

AI: "This item is labeled as a jujube-wood carrying pole from Hua Yi Furniture, with item number B604040047."

Looks more like 75604040047.

Early prehistoric Klingon bat'leth?


Or maybe a bow-stringing assistant tool?

Hello,
You write it was a decoration in an hotel room.
Did you take it home as a souvenir ? 🙃😁

It ressembles to a haladi??

Part of a harness for waterbuffalo ?

I personally don't believe AI blind. But with a little bit research, here at first the term "Hua Yi": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hua%E2%80%93Yi_distinction
"Jujube" is a fruit, see the first pic. and under a a carrying pole I understand what the next pictures it shows!

Hello Peter,

Like seen in the pictures I posted, these carrying poles are not really comfortable. Sometimes they lay under a bolster but in most cases these poles are carried directly on the shoulder, a hard work and strong shoulders. Like I said, I would believe AI here, it's exactly what the label says! :)
Do you have it in your possession now? ;)
