Vintage Antique Decorative Man In The Moon Wooden Carving Santa Wooden Carving

From a collection of early 20th century hand carved wooden 'Casting Moulds’. This 'Santa / Man in the Moon' mould was used as the template by artisans to create ornamental pieces. The wooden carvings were initially wrapped in papier-mache (small parts are still visible on some of the carvings) and when dry, cut in half to release the wooden cast (hence the visible cut marks on some of the carvings). The two halves would then have been joined together to create the whole figure, befor...e being pained, covered in resin or gilded etc.
