Jar with lid, mid 20th century, 18 x 14 in. (45.72 x 35.56 cm), Clay, Burkina Faso, 20th century, The spikes on this jars surface line up in tight rows, looking like the helmets of a well-organized army. Indeed, the spikes symbolize defense against illness, misfortune, and duntundara (evil forces, which in English would translate as 'witchcraft'). Vessels like this were placed on altars dedicated to a protective spirit, and they contained water or powerful medicines destined for that spirit. The lid, which is smoothly integrated into the pots pod-like form, protected its contents from natural and supernatural contamination.
