Old Wooden Jar Mold carved wooden lion born in 1951 in Jemez

born in 1951 in Jemez Pueblo

I'd probably put it on the desk to use it as a paperweight

but also terrific with a few cut branches

they’d be pretty great in a classroom or kid’s room

Old Wooden Jar Mold carved wooden lion born in 1951 in JemezJust a nice old wooden foundry jar mold with a good patina. The half bottle form is attached to its original mount, with the letter and numbers I assume referring to the bottle or jar type (and there are more handwritten notations on the back side.) A loop at some point was added at the top for easy hanging. Great in the kitchen or pantry looks like a mason jar to me! Very good vintage condition, with just the right amount of wear.
