Ox Harness From Rural China
- Only 6 items left
Antique wooden animal yokes, traditionally used in agricultural settings across Southeast Asia and beyond. These handcrafted harnesses were essential equipment for working animals such as carabao, oxen, and donkeys, designed to distribute load evenly across the shoulders and neck during ploughing, hauling, and farm labour.
Each piece carries the patina of decades of use—tool marks, weathered wood grain, and visible wear patterns tell the story of rural life and agricultural heritage. The construction showcases traditional joinery and wood-working techniques, with curved profiles shaped to fit the animal's anatomy.
A striking accent for rustic, farmhouse, or eclectic interiors, these yokes function as sculptural reminders of pre-industrial craftsmanship and the bond between farmer and animal. Suitable for display as wall art, garden installations, or collected alongside other ethnographic textiles and tools.
Great wall art..
