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?

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?
Regards,
Detlef
