AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautiful and diverse collection of four hand-carved wooden utilitarian items from both European and Asian cultures. A unique and varied lot, ideal for the collector of folk art and antique kitchenware.
The lot consists of:
1. Large European speculaas board:
Intricately hand-carved depiction of a woman in traditional dress.
2. Long European speculaas board:
Featuring three different couples (man and woman) in historical dress.
3. Classic wooden butter mold:
Deeply carved rectangular form with ribbed walls and a beautiful central rose with leaves and ears of corn. Used to press artisanal butter into a mold. This piece bears a characteristic age crack at the top (see photos).
4. Rare, four-sided carved Asian Kueh Ku (Ang Ku Kueh) mold:
A very unique and multifunctional Peranakan/Chinese-Indonesian collectible with a sturdy handle. The wooden block is deeply carved on all four sides with various traditional motifs, including the well-known turtle motif (symbol for a long life, featuring the Chinese 'Shou' character) and various floral/peach motifs (symbols of prosperity and health).
