- (continued from previous page)Sometimes the butter is made up in little round "prints" about four inches in diameter. The top of this print is decorated by stamping it with a little round wooden disc to which a handle is attached. On the face of this disc a design is engraved in the wood. The design varies. It may be that of a bird, or a flower, or an animal, or a simple scene.
This form of making up butter is fast dying out in the neighbourhood.
