Carved wooden plaque of Bécassine - vintage Breton decorative mould - 20th century

Beautiful solid wood plaque carved to depict Bécassine, the iconic Breton character from the French comics. Decorative piece or old butter/cake mold, very well crafted.

Detailed description:
For sale a very fine carved wooden plaque representing Bécassine, the famous character created in 1905 by Jacqueline Rivière and drawn by Joseph Porphyre Pinchon.
This solid wood piece (probably walnut or oak given the warm hue and grain) is finely carved in relief. It shows Bécassine in the traditional Breton costume: coif, ruff, apron, skirts, sabots and basket. The naive, smiling face is particularly expressive.
At the bottom of the plaque, the name “BÉCASSINE” is carved in relief (in mirror, typical of old molds so that the imprint appears upright). A hanging hole is present at the top, allowing easy display as wall decoration.
