Ribbed Pedestal Trio with Carved Bowls - Circle of Elevation & Earth – Enkito e Oltau (Step of Offering).

More than display—this ensemble is a carved invocation of grounding, rhythm, and ceremonial readiness.

Introducing the Enkito e Oltau Circle of Elevation & Earth: three conical wooden pedestals with spiral ribbing, each crowned with hand-carved bowls and trays in smooth and patterned finishes. Set atop a woven mat and surrounded by baskets and cylindrical containers, this composition transforms elevation into ritual and wood into storytelling.
