Calabashes and antelope horns are frequently used as containers for medicines, sacred oils, and other substances among different Tanzanian peoples. They are often closed with beautifully carved wooden stoppers, miniature heads that mimic larger sculptures and masks. As part of their healing repertoire, the Makonde use horn containers filled with medicinal substances. These functional objects become even more potent as healing devices when they are combined with feathers and carved heads that may represent ancestor spirits.

It was a tradition in Tanzania to finely carve to tops of the containers, which then gave the container more person importance and made it possible to directly link the piece to a certain tribe and region mostly by the shape of the head and headstyle on the stopper.
