wooden block (possibly some type of stamp?)

By pernicious59, 1 August, 2009
Description

On the top is a handle.
There are 8 little raised flowers on the bottom, made out of thin metal.
Each one is on a slightly raised pedestal. One flower is missing a petal.
Does anyone know what this is?

The pattern is kind of ?
A leather stamp tool? Just a guess!

Re: wooden block (possibly some type of stamp?)

Cool & odd little tool , pernicious59 ..... I'm not really sure exactly what it was designed for , but I'll add .02 cents to the guessing dept .

Perhaps an item used for block printing on fabric ( maybe for batik process? ) or paper .
Maybe used for : embossing handmade paper ; impressing patterns in clay/tiles ; maybe for patterns in pastry items .
