This unique piece is a vintage carved wood, maybe a butter mold or pastry press featuring a famous monestery in Switzerland.
The wood patina adds to its rustic charm and character.
This is medium-sized round piece measures about 11" in diameter (pictured)
Ready to hang with an attached hanger on the back for your wall or on a kitchen shelf, perhaps? An original piece, the maker is unknown.
The style is primitive, and it is believed to have originated from Europe, from a monastery named Maria Einsiedeln, which is on Switzerland and is home of the well-known "Black Madonna".
The unique mold or pastry press is appareny a one-of-a-kind item that would be a great addition to any collection to use and/or admire on display! Makes a distinctive gift!
