A fragmentary Adamawa terracotta vessel for Kwanalha divination.

According of the Brooklyn Museum..these vessels were "created for use in Longuda kwandalha healing divinations. After a ritual specialist determined the cause of a disease, the patient was given a newly modeled vessel, into which the disease was transferred. Such pots, which tend to embody the symptoms described, are remarkable for their highly expressive and imaginative forms."
