Carving: It features a single, deep, carved impression of a figure. The figure appears to be a woman wearing a crown or elaborate headpiece, possibly holding a stylized object like a flower or torch. The bottom half of her dress or body has a textured, scale-like or chevron pattern.

Purpose: Wooden molds like this are historically used to impress a design onto soft dough (like the anise-flavored German Springerle cookie dough) before baking, or for pressing decorative shapes onto butter, marzipan, or cheese.

Dimensions: 8.5" x3" The long, rectangular shape is common for molds designed to create single, distinct cookie or confectionery pieces.

Good Vitage Condition. See photo for spots that appear to be paint drips
