An antique 19th century wooden mangle board, or smoothing board, with a horse handle and a delicate pinwheel design lightly carved on its body. One of the most poignant and interesting objects of folk art, particularly but not exclusively Scandinavian folk art. An ancestor of the iron and cousin of the laundry bat, this old domestic implement was used to press or smooth laundry.
