    Something or nothing? I honestly don’t recall where this came from but if it’s the house I think it could be either. It’s not really very sturdy. If not just a wall hanger or table setting what would this be used for? 3D3DB5EB-5DF4-45FF-AF3E-2E3F0275FB49.jpeg 5800F432-9191-4ED3-9625-DEB2473E25B2.jpeg 33D96CED-EAD5-4C1B-BE8E-54CC8E31AAEC.jpeg

    Florists here used to have large trays like that for a hanging flower arrangement.

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    Seems decorative. Would be interested to see if there are more functional uses.

    Not sure what one would do with it, but it was made in the Philippines, with nito root as the material it's made from.

    I did think the material looked somewhat distinct!

    Only thoughts I had were maybe drying things atop it. Or since it’s tropical in origin maybe food prep when you’re like wrapping large leaves around food. Only potential functional uses I could think of…
