Popular for holidays and other celebrations, these small picture molds were used to shape gingerbread or colored sugar dough into the shape of good-luck charms, costume pictures, love allegories, or objects of everyday life. These tiny, extremely detailed cookies were called "Devisen" - which means "currency" or "exchange" - and the pastries were typically given out to children as prizes at parties. This mold corresponds to the style of those that appear in early nineteenth-century Switzerland.
This object was once part of the folk art collection of Elie Nadelman (1882-1946), the avant-garde sculptor.
