The stand or stands of pottery are used to hold a caldron or pitcher-like ancient wok for boiling. The fire would be set up under the caldron which rests on the pottery stands.

Use? If it's a pottery stand, what would it be used to hold? Do you know where any images of one online might be? Thanks!
