Circular butter print decorated with a floral pattern, Llansteffan, 1813 [image 1 of 2]

Description

Carved with the initials E x R and the date 1813. Carmarthenshire farms have a strong tradition of butter and cheese making. Sycamore was chosen for carving into butter prints and other equipment as this wood does not taint the foodstuffs by leaving a taste.
