Meiji Japanese ' Dai ' 3 tier 'root' wooden stand

Made for a Tokonoma. 
An antique Japanese dai (台) refers to a traditional wooden platform or stand, often used in Japanese architecture or furniture. These pieces are typically simple, minimalist, and designed with precise craftsmanship, reflecting traditional Japanese aesthetics.
In the context of furniture, a dai can serve various purposes:
It may be used as a low stand for displaying decorative objects such as statues, plants, or vases.
In religious or ceremonial settings, it can hold sacred objects like Buddhist statues or scrolls.
The materials used are usually high-quality wood, and antique pieces might feature intricate carving or joinery, depending on their era and purpose.
Fabulous natural 'root' wood stand.
