Sweet Old Nepalese Carved Wooden Lid with Yak car puzzle The basket measures 2 1/2"This voluptuous yak would have functioned as a handle of sorts, carved as part of the lid or stopper of some sort of large vessel, quite likely holding yak milk which she seems quite full of.

With a great silhouette, smoothly worn surface, and super warm presence. 3 1 2" tall x 3 3 8" l x 3 1 8" w
