Yoke

Yoke

Yoke, or Double ox-yoke: this device appears variously represented, and two kinds are given in the margin. The first figure is copied from a MS. c. 1580; the second is later. The device is borne but rarely; one instance, that in the arms of PYBERS, where the yoke is made of bamboo, will be found already noted under Cinnamon, and there are one or two others.
