Additional Information: See similar bottle and description in Sieber Roy, African Furniture and Household Objects, p. 177.  "This type of milk container was usually accompanied by a pottery brazier rather like an inverted funnel. It was used to fumigate the bottle to prevent the milk from spoiling too quickly." Containers like this were also found among the Tutsi and were used for the storage of milk.
