The Wooden Cobra Tripod Stand 6" is a hand-carved wood stand built to cradle a round object — a crystal ball, an abalone shell, or a small bowl — securely above whatever surface it sits on. Carved from a single piece of wood with no joints, screws, or glue, its three folding legs open into a tripod that gives a rounded item a stable, centered perch instead of letting it roll or wobble on a flat shelf.
At 6 inches tall, it's sized for a range of common sphere and shell sizes rather than one specific fit — center your item where all three prongs make contact, and the tripod does the rest. Because the whole stand folds flat, it also packs down easily for travel or storage when it isn't holding anything, which a rigid stand simply can't do, and makes it easy to bring along if you're setting up a display somewhere other than home.
It works equally well as a permanent fixture on a meditation altar or as an occasional stand you set up only when displaying a particular piece. Some buyers also use it to elevate a small burning or smudging bowl off a surface during use — if you do, make sure the bowl itself is rated for heat and that nothing hot touches the wood directly.
Since each stand is individually hand-carved from a single block of wood, grain pattern, color, and small dimensional details vary piece to piece — what arrives is genuinely one of a kind rather than a mass-produced, identical copy. That same single-piece construction also means there's no hardware to tighten or replace as the years go by.
A simple, sturdy way to give a crystal ball, shell, or bowl a proper place to rest.
