## About
A palm-sized cauldron sand-cast in solid iron, roughly eight centimetres across, standing on three stubby legs with a small looped handle and a fitted lid. At 400 to 500 grams it has real heft for its size — small enough to sit on a crowded altar shelf, solid enough to hold a burning charcoal disc and a scatter of resin without complaint or warping.

The three-legged cauldron is one of the oldest and most recognizable pieces of ritual iconography in the West: the witch's pot of folk tale, the alchemist's vessel where base matter was worked toward gold, the household hearth reduced to a single portable vessel. Folklore across these traditions treats the cauldron as a place of transformation, where separate things are combined and become something else entirely over heat.

Line the base with sand or salt before lighting charcoal inside it — the iron conducts heat quickly, and a layer of sand protects both the metal and whatever surface the cauldron rests on. Wipe it dry after each use to keep the iron from rusting.

Sold as a curiosity — no medical or scientific claims are made, only a well-worn piece of ritual iconography made functional for daily use.
