BUTTER STAKE, common man, 19th century.

Purchased in Hälsingland according to information.
Height 24cm, diameter 17cm ------------------------------------------- After more details assessment, we believe that the upper and lower planes are painted with a color other than tempera. On the upper side, the paint is cracked, which indicates older painting. On the underside, the color is probably later. We feel that the tempera painting has possibly been improved but largely original with the base in a blue tone after which another decorative color was applied.
