This Turkish cauldron has a long history. I only know part of the story. My friend Mustafa is from Turkey and this has been in his family for a long time. It belonged to his Grandfather and Grandmother. Mustafa inherited it from them. The last time it was used was at the time of his Grandfather’s death, forty two years ago. There is a tradition in Turkey that when the body is being prepared for burial it is wrapped in white cloth that has been boiled. This cauldron was used for that preparation. The legs that support this cauldron were added by Mustafa, himself.
