Mold - Pastry molds

This is a hand-carved Chinese pastry mold used for making traditional desserts such as mooncakes and rice cakes. The mold is made of hardwood and has a handle. The surface is engraved with a circular design: a figure in ancient costume at the center, with pavilions and railings in the background, and a serrated border. The carving lines are simple and smooth, the figure's expression is vivid, and the overall patina is natural, showing obvious signs of wear. These types of molds are valuable resources for studying traditional food culture and folk art; molds with human figures are rarer than those with ordinary patterns.
