Dulang, footed wooden trays, have diameters which vary from about 20 centimetres to more than 50 centimetres and the height is in proportion.

The rim is usually slightly raised and it always has a flaring foot. It is usually made from one piece of wood.

Some are plain wood, some are painted, some are decorated with designs.

Its original purpose was to serve food. People would sit in a circle around it and take rice and other foods from it with their right hands.

Elevation is important to the Balinese. Height is associated with the gods. It is appropriate, therefore, that offerings to the gods should always be kept well above the ground. A dulang could be used as a stand for food offerings.

They also serve as a tray on which a priest places his ritual utensils in the temple, such as his priest’s bell and holy water containers.
