This is a vintage mold called "okashigata". 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. These sweets were also used for holiday celebrations, tea ceremony etc. These are for decoration only-they are never eaten. *You can use it as food mold to cook.
