Description
Shoulder/carrier partially covered in thick leather. Length 46 cm.
Pole-layers were an occupational group at the sawmills. They carried and stacked sawn planks in very high stacks, "stabs", for drying before shipping. To facilitate the heavy and risky work, they had a carrying or shoulder pad and a hook to protect the body and be able to balance the planks more easily.
