These are lopaty sazení chleba, or "bread shovels" from the Podbrdské Muzeum. Our ancestors would have used these to take the large, round loaves out of the hot ovens without burning themselves.

They look like they could also be used as canoe oars!

More artifacts like this can be seen in the museum's barn.
