Carved from cherry, sycamore or box wood the motif usually suggests what type of farm or its area. The mould on the opposite page with the elongated cow suggests it’s a very long standing farm whilst the mould with the swan was probably a farm situated on a river whilst the squirrel mould farm was probably near a forest.” (\u003cem\u003eThe Crown Series Collector’s Companion\u003c\/em\u003e, Ken Arnold, Crown Castleton Publishers, 1995, p. 109)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(17, 17, 17);\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e~~~~~~~~~~~\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Georgegen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43067440332842,"sku":null,"price":439.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0613\/8478\/5962\/files\/Georgegen-TheKitchen-Butter-Print-Rose-2.jpg?v=1753775692","url":"https:\/\/www.georgegen.com.au\/products\/butter-print-stamp-rose","provider":"Georgegen","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
