Description
Providing monks with their daily meals in exchange for prayers and religious teachings is considered an act of devotion. This spired offering vessel, known as "hsun-ok," was used to transport food to a temple or monastery. It has three parts: a bowl attached to a flaring pedestal, a pagoda-shaped cover, and an internal plainly lacquered tray on which food such as soup, curries, pickles, or rice might be placed.
