Among the Fon's best-known productions are the Botchio, fetishes used to protect villages, lineages, and individuals.
Numerous ornaments help awaken one's tutelary power. During voodoo ceremonies, the fetish priest pours or spits various libations (alcohol or palm oil, chicken blood) as offerings on the voodoo fetishes to intercede with the god, which gives them their characteristic crusty patina.
