The main function of a <em>Boli<\/em> is to accumulate and control the natural life force called nyama for the spiritual benefit of the community. Used as altars or worn in dance performances, they are intricate creations created from esoteric ingredients. The <em>nyama<\/em> pour le b\u00e9n\u00e9fice spirituel de la communaut\u00e9.

Les <em>Boli<\/em> are composed of a wooden \"core\" wrapped in a white cotton cloth covered with layers of mud and clay around which over time the sacrificial materials are encrusted, such as chicken and goat blood, bones of 'animals, chewed cola nuts, alcohol and millet porridge. As the sacrificial materials build up over time, and the crust cracks and hardens, each layer added gives the <em>Boli <\/em>great spiritual power. The creature that represents a <em>Boli<\/em> is not identifiable, but many take on a zoomorphic form while others may be anthropomorphic. The <em>Boli<\/em> has been cosmologically described as both a symbol of the universe and a receptacle for the forces that animate the universe. As custodians of enormous spiritual power or <em>nyama<\/em>,the <em>Boli<\/em> are viewed with fear and fear.
