This has nothing to do with Carcassonne, but it’s cool and medieval and so I thought I’d share it with you.
Over the Christmas break I was in southern Italy, and in an extraordinary town in the region of Basilicata called Matera, I came across some wooden bread stamps. These stamps were used in the past by the commoners of the town to stamp their family initials on their bread dough before baking it in a communal oven, so once the bread was cooked, everyone would know who each loaf of bread belonged to.
One of the stamps was in the form of a medieval tower … so I basically had to buy it. And here it is!
This will come out as NL (my initials) when stamped on bread dough.
