These resemble old time butter molds but they are not. They are plaques mounted on a kitchen wall for example. We want to buy some more of them online as gifts, but we are missing the "accurate" name of what they are. Maybe based on the design on each piece (?)

My first instinct is to call them a medallion. That's a guess.

They are made of wood with a slot on the back to hang them on a wall. Butter mold replicas but Google struggles to find them without the correct name.

How big are these? They look like the cookie stamps here: Hand Carved Cookie Stamps

I am sending you a link to a place I found via Pinterest. Their site looks interesting - varying sizes of molds, lots of patterns and the prices aren't too hateful IMHO. Here's the link: Butterstamp Product 1

There are 4 of them. 3 are about 4 inches in diameter. The large one is about 8-9 inches in diameter. The photo we posted distort the actual size. Sadly we lost the "brochure" that came with the ones we have that gave the name. The patterns are very similar to antique butter molds, but these are wall decorations of some kind, and the design and pattern may indicate the name.

They are wood butter stamp molds. They look to be antique.

That looks to be correct. These are only 7-8 years old and an actual butter mold has more parts than a flat piece of wood about 1/2 inch thick. To use them to stamp butter could be a mess.
