What do you think about this Lantaka

Probably put there to protect the bottom of the barrel from rock walls etc .
Remember these were also currency ; correct ?

Bill, I don't think a piece of wood on the bottom would give much protection
against sharpnel. Although rattan is pretty strong.

Rick, yes I agree, Lantaka's were also used as currency among other things.

So then it would be in one's best interest to keep them as nice as possible; no ?
