Antique Springerle Maypole...The perfect Folk Art for Spring! ONLY ONE AVAILABLE This is a large Blackened Beeswax Casting created using the original antique Wooden Mold which I've owned for years but hesitated to use until now. Needless to say I have to be extremely careful so the wax doesn't damage the mold! Molds such as these were used to make cake toppings and springerle cookies or shortbread. Original mold dates to the 1800's. Lots of detail with scene depicting two costumed dancers, likely English "Morris Dancers" holding an elaborately decorated Maypole. The casting has been dusted with cinnamon and the back is covered in very old, thick French paper with beautiful script writing. Measures 12" tall and 6" wide and is 1/4" thick thick twine hanger and care tag included. Will be carefully wrapped! A very rare wax image! Cost is $46 plus $8 shipping.
