These are wooden carvings used to store dried kveik. Their use is simple: dip the kveik ring/kveikstokk into the krausen of a fermenting beer, and then hang the ring/kveikstokk to dry. On the next batch, the ring/kveikstokk is dunked into wort to reactivate the yeast. Note that not all yeast reacts well to drying. Kveik has this exceptional ability.
