A beautifully carved wooden churn handle in a stylised human form, traditionally used in the Swat Valley of Northern Pakistan for preparing lassi, butter, and other milk products. Its sculptural silhouette—complete with a ringed head, tapered body, and geometric incised motifs—reflects the region’s distinctive pastoral craft heritage. Functional yet expressive, it stands today as a small ethnographic object full of character and cultural history.
