Description

Overview

A traditional Mexican molinillo with a two-tier whisking-head design, intended to whip more air into the chocolate than a standard single-head whisk. Same Oaxaca provenance context as its companion piece (SKU CWT-MX-2000-137), tied to Craft World Tours’ 2007 “Christmas in Oaxaca” itinerary.

  • Structural Base: Single piece of solid carved wood, no joints or glue.
