Meanings of elements
FLESH SEAM of FLESHPOT
…or: TRADING CRAFTS at CAULDRON
…or: SKILLED, TRADING ONE THING FOR ANOTHER with GOAL OF EMISSIONS
「Crafty, planning, seam of flesh, trading one thing for another」of a「fleshpot」as FREE LABOR should need no further explanation, presumed in the old days to be within the inherent rights of any sex slave's owner. Refers to offering a seam of flesh to another as TRIBUTE, and someone else「skillfully working it」FOR FREE and without any payment demanded as might be the case when visiting the shaman's cave o' wonders.
Possibly, the GIFT to another of a「fleshpot's flesh seam」as a permanent arrangement (TRIBUTE), or simply for temporary use such as when having guests over for supper, or spending the night.
If taken literally as flesh seams on top of a cauldron, then significantly, there are no binding, bound, net, tied up, thread, or rope elements within this glyph, indicating that the「seam of flesh」may have climbed upon the fleshpot of the person's own will as TRIBUTE, a gratuitous offering but one involving「skill, craftwork, planning」and the later intention perhaps of trading that for a favor from the lord. No「vagina」elements either, and this particular「seam of flesh」is often associated with the anal orifice, indicative of a person of either sex mounting the fleshpot.
Perhaps「planning how and who would skillfully work to provide prepare meals.」All services such as hunting for meat, gathering vegetables and fruits, gathering wood and tending the firepit, butchering and food preparation, cooking, and cleanup were CONTRIBUTED by communal members in cavefolk days, it could be imagined. No one was paid wages, and everyone WORKED FOR FREE, naturally since the currencies of the day were meat and sex. But actually everyone worked for a share of the food in the fleshpot and that food kept them alive…meat was wealth in the good old days. Freely giving of your goods or services in order to remain alive, and not for measured compensation by paycheck, is TRIBUTE.

Chinese: to offer tribute; tribute; gifts
Japanese EDRDG: tribute, support, finance
Unihan extended: offer tribute; tribute, gifts

Always keep in mind that these glyphs most likely were originally designed by groups of clever old men as vulgar riddles for their own entertainment (see 籒 for that), representing Chinese society many thousands of years ago, but intended NOT as a written or spoken language when created. If these glyphs had been intended for language use, the sages could not have possibly designed a worse system! Is it truly possible that all these glyphs started out as off-color jokes and puzzles? Yes! It is, and often with multiple correct answers to each riddle, the same as is true today. Sex had no shame in ancient China. Why would it? But, have there been necessary rewrites and altered explanations of the original elemental meanings over the centuries?

No one is suggesting these glyphs depict contemporary life in China, Japan, or anywhere else. This site describes glyph meanings, not people. These glyphs however, describe many and various things, including people, long before there were any notions of becoming politically incorrect. The question to be answered is, should these glyphs continue being used, by anyone, anywhere, for expressing language? (More...) Despite how seemingly bad our human existence is today, do you actually believe that the so-called good old days were any better? Or could they have been worse?

By the way, with a limited number of the same elements used by the sages again and again to form these glyphs, you should expect to find the same explanations again and again, as tedious as that may become, and as an inherent trait of any lexicon. This site explains multiple meanings of glyphs ignored or censored by other sources, generally as being too embarrassing to admit today.
