The board is quite heavy and the wood is uncommonly smooth. The kerbschnitzerei or chip carving shows brilliantly. It’s a work of art! Dimensions; 24 inches long; 1 1/4 thick; 4 1/4 wide; characters are 3.5 to 4 inches tall and include birds, lion, elephant, cattle, man riding chicken, dog, goat and sheep. I’ve owned a lot of springerle and speculaas boards over the years, this piece is for an advanced collector.
