MATRIX. MATRIX. A latin word, that was born out of one of the historical expressions of rural art in Matera’s Murgia: the bread rubber stamp.<\/p>\n
Since ovens, where the whole community used to gather around, were mostly public in the past, local families needed to mark their own loaves of bread: this is why the risen bread dough was marked before baking.<\/p>\n
In past years, these wooden rubber stamps were handmade and their upper parts depicted symbols of the shepherds’ world, often with an apotropaic value.<\/p>\n
The bread rubber stamp was also used as a token of love that a suitor used to offer to the woman he loved, she could either keep it, if in agreement, or give it back, to reject his proposal.<\/p>\n
A rubber stamp could be given to someone as a gift, to show respect, in some cases.<\/p>\n
Bread rubber stamps are now highly appreciatted decorative objects: craftsmen use fine types of wood to make them, focusing on refinements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
