The butter lamb, also known as a buttered lamb, is a traditional
butter sculpture accompanying the Easter meal for many Slovenian and
Polish Catholics. Butter is shaped into a lamb either by hand or in a
lamb-shaped mould. Frequently the eyes are represented by peppercorns
and a white banner with a red cross on a toothpick is placed on its
back. (via http://bestofwikipedia.tumblr.com/ )
