Sweets Frame

This is a frame for neatly piling up pressed sweets (dasik) or honey cookies (yakgwa). The frame consists of a hollow cylinder with eight columns attached. A plantain pattern was engraved at both ends of each column. As a kind of Korean traditional sweets and cookies, dasik is made by mixing roasted grain flour or pine pollen flour with Korean hard taffy (yeot) or honey and then pressing it using a sweets mold. Dasik is named according to the ingredients, such as pine pollen dasik (yellow), black sesame dasik (black), rice dasik (white), pea dasik (yellowish green) and omija dasik (pink). In ancestral rites, unlike feasts or banquets, colorful dasik is not used and instead used only pine pollen dasik, rice dasik and black sesame dasik, which are close to being colorless.
