Description
probably German or Northern European. The pastry or cake mold carved on one side with a large single figure of an infant wrapped in richly ornamented swaddling clothes, the opposing side carved with a small single figure of an infant at one end and with a small figure of twin infants at the other end, all swaddled in highly decorated clothes. Note: An incised beech mould with a quite similar large figure is in the collection of the Victoria & Albert Museum, London, museum ID number 118:1-1906. Cataloged as German, circa 1670-1740, the V&A example is carved with only a single large figure of an infant on one side, the other being uncarved. It has been suggested that the inclusion of the pair of twin infants on the present mold is very rare." 10 inches wide; 3 3/4 inches deep; 1 3/8 inches high
