Figurative vessels crafted by the Mambila people in Cameroon are high detailed, expressive vessels that could almost be passed off as figurative sculptures – except they are clearly containers made to be filled with substances such as water, food or medicine. In addition, they could also be filled with spiritual elements such as souls, life energy or healing powers. Regardless of what they illustrate, all figurative vessels are hollow and have the potential to be filled.
