Offering a very beautiful antique, hand carved, double wood mold stamp slab from Korea.
This
is a rice cake or cookie press that was hand carved by a Korean farmer. This used to be a traditional craft in
Korea during winters when the cold prevented them from working outside.
The farmers wives used them to press into the wet rice cakes to create
designs and beautify a simple food. This is over 100 years old.
This double piece measures 24" in length - is 2 1/4" in width - 1" thick.
There is no damage just light wear since it has been displayed as a
decoration for many decades.
A special aspect of this mold is the the top layer that comes down as a press over 8 hand carved round molds with artistic designs carved into their surfaces.
The wood shows wear appropriate to it's age.
I
have several antique Korean cookie presses similar to this one but each
piece is unique because each was hand made by a different person.
