Wood. Three pieces. The cover, the handle and the molder. The cover - the grain goes from top to bottom. At the top is a hole for the handle to go through. Around the hole are what looks like natural tree rings. On one side the cover is cracked from the bottom right to the hole. On the other side the crack is just on top. The cover is in a swiggly pattern on the sides. In the first groove from the bottom, there are several, what looks like rust spots. The handle has a wider top as for grip. The top also screws into the mold. The top of the mold, shows natural tree rings. The pattern carved out on the bottom of the mold is 4 leafs coming from centre. In between each space where the leaves come apart are elongated ovals. On the outer edge of the mold is a ring of carved out notches, that do not show on the side of the mold. The wood on one side of the mold is darker than the other. On the lighter side, near the edge is a purple dot.Dimensions
