On an outer island of Kiribati (Abimama), we found these used to out their pots on their cooking fires.

it was a fun trip down memory lane. I LOVE the photos of the cooking machine guns. that is a memory that has stuck with me for years. I was so shocked to see them!

So I couldn't really make it out and put it through one of those ai image deblur tools. Kind of fucked it up tbh but it did make the kitten easier to see
