MOLD 023

Symbol: zhar-ptitsa ("flame-bird") is the mythical bird symbolizing the Sun. This pattern comes from 13th-century Ryazan, an ancient city 100 miles south-west of Moscow.

Wood: yellow birch (Betula alleghaniensis). Yellow birch has an extremely beautiful patterned wood with a dark-brown heart. This mols was traditionally treated to make it beautiful and durable. It was held over live fire (to slightly tan & burn the surface of the mold to highlight the design and natural beauty of the wood), it was permeated with 100% natural beeswax (to seal wood’s pores, make it waterproof and durable, and intensify the yellow birch's incredible color), and covered with 100% organic food grade linseed oil (to add a glossy shiny look).

Dimensions: 6 x 7 3/4 x 1 in (14,9 x 19,3 x 2,5 cm).
