Traditional wooden Balinese cake mould tray used for cookies and dumplings. They are called Cetakan Kue in Indonesian. Kue means cake.

They were used for many different types of cakes.

The moulds were carved by local craftsmen in a variety of shapes and sizes in local wood. They may be leaves, flowers or animals. If used for festivals or ceremonies, they may be symbolic. Similar moulds were used in Malaysia and Singapore.

Historically, versions of these moulds have been used in many different countries, but as in Indonesia, the tradition has almost disappeared.
 
New ones are rarely produced. The main exceptions seem to be the Czech Republic, Korea, and Japan.
 

This one is carved with six separate cake moulds with serrated edges. 

It is in fine condition with decorative, sculptural value and a good patina.

1920s-1930s.
