This is a vintage mold called "kashigata".
In the past, when a person died, it was expensive to give flowers or fresh food so, people made sweets (these are made from soy flour, rice flour and sugar) in the form of flowers, fish etc. These items were then placed on the "butsudan" (family shrine found in the house) for the dead person.
The sweets are for decoration only.
This is a beautiful lotus leaf.
*You can use this mold as food mold to cook. Please clean thoroughly before using.
The details on this mold are really amazing.
It measures 16.7 cm long x 7.3 cm wide x 3.2 cm tall. Inside it measures 9.8 cm long x 5.5 cm wide.
Please note that there is a stamp on the back. It is a very cute cupid with the kashigata company on it.
