Description: 144 Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Offering a very beautiful, antique, hand-carved wood mold stamp press slab from Korea. This is a rice cake or cookie press that was hand-carved by a Korean farmer over 100 years ago. This used to be a traditional craft in Korea during winters when the cold prevented farmers from working outside. The farmer’s wives used the primitive sculptures to press into the wet rice cakes to create designs and beautify a simple food. This piece measures 16" in length – 2 1/2" in width – 1 1/2" thick. It has been displayed as a decoration for many decades. A special aspect of this carved mold is that is has two layers: a bottom piece with the raised carved flowers and a top piece that slides down over the flowers to help form and release the cakes. The sculptor also carved holes with wood pegs at each end to keep the two slabs from being separated when not in use. One carved peg is missing. The remaining one is attached with a rope. The wood shows wear appropriate to its age with small gouges, scratches and cracks. 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. FREE DOMESTIC SHIPPING!
