Evidence: A tripod is a portable three-legged frame or stand, used as a platform for supporting the weight and maintaining the stability of some other object. They are often referred to as "dings" and usually have three legs, but in some usages have four legs. It was described as a traditional Chinese sacrificial vessel symbolizing unity. In ancient Greece, tripods were frequently used to support lebes, or cauldrons, sometimes for cooking and other uses such as supporting vases.
