Well, if we're going down the flotation device route (hadn't occured to me I must admit, probably because the figure is only leaning on it not holding onto it) a log under the arms must be the most primitive device around.
That and pig's bladders, I should imagine.
But the stakes go right through the object - so it must have been bored to be pierced with the two stakes. It's also clearly a long object, much longer tan the person leaning on it.
