This is a wooden mold (cookie mold) for making cookies called "Spingelerre," traditionally used in southwestern Germany, the Alsace region of France, Switzerland, and other areas. Spingelerre are white, hard, relief-shaped cookies made from a dough flavored with anise, eggs, sugar, and flour. They have a very long history, said to have been made since the Middle Ages. Delicate carvings of animals, plants, religious scenes, and people's daily lives are engraved on the mold's patterns. They are mainly baked during the Christmas season and are sometimes displayed for appreciation as well as eaten.

This design depicts men and women gardening and people in traditional attire, and is known as a vintage or antique reproduction. The upper row shows men and women gardening, and the lower row depicts men and women enjoying an outing or a walk in their Sunday best.

From the stamp, it can be identified as being from Creditreform in 1987. It is written in German, "May work go well in 1987!", so it might be nice to give it as a gift to someone connected to this year as a charm for good luck in business. It is also recommended as a collectible for those who enjoy baking. It would also look striking hung on a wall, so it seems you can enjoy it in your own way.
