Cement Block Mold – Object of the month for October 2025

This month we are exhibiting an object related to construction techniques.
It is a cement block mold made of sheet metal and consists of two pieces: an outer piece, shaped like a parallelepiped box, and a second piece that is inside the mold, consisting of a plate to which two solid blocks are attached, forming the hollows in those cement blocks.
