This mooncake mould is made of hardwood. The four motifs seen here are the Chinese characters for ‘花好月圆’(Hua Hao Yue Yuan),signifying a beautiful time of flowers blossoming under the full moon. Mooncakes are Chinese pastries traditionally eaten in small wedges accompanied by Chinese tea during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
