Nupe pot support stands are meticulously crafted from terracotta, designed to provide a stable base for the distinctive round-bottomed Nupe pots. These supports are characterized by broad, flat rings encircling their trunks, enhancing both functionality and aesthetic appeal.
Traditionally, the stands are partially buried in the ground, ensuring the pots' contents remain clean while maximizing space within Nupe homes. Entire walls in these homes are often lined with rows of such supports, each fully stacked with pots. Many of these stands exhibit signs of their subterranean placement, with encrustations and darkened upper portions resulting from exposure to smoke from cooking and household fires.
Additionally, Nupe pot supports are hollow, offering the dual purpose of storage containers. This ingenious design underscores the resourcefulness and sophisticated craftsmanship of the Nupe people, blending practicality with cultural significance.
