#Alsace Christ Springerle Mold PLEASE NOTE: We have a Custom Cutter available for this mold that we'll soon be listing in a separate listing. This mold measures about 9 3/4" x 5 5/8" & will produce a cookie that measures about 8 1/4" x 4 1/2". The image is very beautiful, dimensional, deep, nicely detailed & very accurate with proportions. The mold carries the number 21 & the initials J?B. The image looks to be that of Christ. Here is what some folks sent to me about the symbolism: The right hand is raised in a gesture of benediction. The 3 fingers up represent the Holy Trinity & the 2 fingers down represent the 2 natures of Christ. He also holds the globus cruciger (cross-bearing orb) showing Christ's dominion over the world. His head is surrounded by a halo of radiant light (rather than the typical round disc or circle halo) which depicts a holy person. Now, the hat threw me but it looks similar to that of the one wore by the Holy Infant of Atocha. Due to the sheep at his feet the image certainly looks to be Jesus as the Good Shepherd. Keep in mind that this mold can also produce great paper castings & other works of art for you. Molds of quality & durability produced by a baker for the professional & home baker!
