These kinds of moulds were originally made of wood which was carved by hand but it got so expensive to make them that by the 1800's they started to make them out of hard wax to reduce the price. These moulds were beautifully made with intricate patterns and designs to be used to decorate traditional biscuits, springerle, and ginger bread. If you look closer, you can see the meticulous detail that has gone into this one. The wax almost looks like wood grain! As these are so old, they are not recommended to use with food but as historical art to hang on the wall. This one is ready to be hung.
