Lead-giving (divination) is an oracular and mantic custom that used to be practised on New Year's Eve, mainly in a less serious manner. However, it was already widespread among the ancient Romans. The figures were melted in a ladle and poured into the water. The resulting figures were interpreted with wit and humour. Here are copies from original spenkuch moulds from around 1890: carp, shamrock (if you want to know the future, you only have to give me a gießen), lucky pig. Height of the shamrock approx. 45 mm. Suitable for decorating. Environmental note: Do not dispose of lead-containing remains in the household waste, but in accordance with local regulations! We are happy to take back figurines and figurine remnants.
