The mold itself has wheat sheaths on either side of the main carved decor. The main carving looks like a pumpkin, perfect for this time of year!

There is a sheaf of wheat on either side of the main carving. Wheat was a symbol of prosperity and wealth. This was one of the most popular butter mold symbols because it was associated with abundant crops.
