Functioning as a stable base, it provided an even surface for transporting goods, allowing them to sit securely atop the ring while carried on the head. Having witnessed this practical use firsthand during travels across Africa and even having used it myself, I've seen its versatility. Beyond its original function, this piece can be displayed decoratively, employed as a pot holder for plants or ornate vases, or creatively utilized in numerous other ways, offering various ways to appreciate its beauty and craftsmanship.Great to use under a pot, calabash, basket etc. that is round and can't stand upright on its own. See sample photo.
