Papier Mache Baguette with Sesame Seeds

I suppose my recent obsession with stone fruit, combined with a love for all things troupe l'oeil, made my snatching up this fake loaf of bread an inevitability! Really a pretty great object though, and certainly as much a labor of love as baking a real loaf! Very realistic looking, painted papier mache I believe, with a scattered of what look very much like sesame seeds along the darker brown stripes. Very fun.

13 1/2" long x 3 1/4" w x 2 1/4", with a hardness and weight very similar to a real loaf! Excellent vintage condition.
