Clay hearth
Portable hearth for cooking with three “hotplates” for pots or pans. In the centre, on the square clay base, the fire was lit on using wood charcoal. The cooking utensils rested on the three button-shaped tripod-stilts to permit proper ventilation of the fire so that it would not go out.
