One part of a wooden paste squeezer. This part consists of two pieces of wood nailed together with two nails. There is a solid cylindrical projection that protrudes out of a piece of wood with a square centre with two long arms and two short arms coming off it, forming a kind of cross. The cylindrical projection fits into a corresponding hole in the other part of the paste squeezer.
