Description from the seller

Rare hinged wrought-iron paddle used to produce hosts in the ecclesiastical sphere in the very early decades of the 1800s. On the rectangular, openable paddle, the dough was placed and then closed after heating the iron thoroughly; once opened, two small wafers bearing an image were ready. The object is in its original patina and measures 92 cm in length, with the paddle itself measuring 15 x 10 cm.
