In the wafer mold, also known as the wafer iron, used for preparing the Eucharistic bread for mass, Christian symbols are impressed, including:
Crocifisso and Trigramma IHS: The main image shows a crucifix above the trigram IHS. This acronym is the Latin abbreviation of Iesus Hominum Salvator ('Jesus, Savior of men'), or it derives from the first three letters of Jesus' Greek name (ΙΗΣΟΥΣ).
Tools of Passion: The central letter 'H' is topped with a cross, while below are three nails, representing the tools of Christ's Passion.
Repeated symbols: The symbols of the IHS monogram with the cross and nails are also repeated in the three smaller circles at the bottom of the object, probably to imprint the design on wafers of different sizes.
Conditions: Vintage object in the condition shown in the photo. It shows signs of use and age that attest to its authenticity and history. (An electrical review is recommended before actual use due to the age of the wiring).
