A Toba medicine container is an object that was used to hold herbs and medicines of the Toba people. They were generally carved from bone, as well as cherry wood, and fashioned into a variety of shapes representing figures such as animals and deities. Their stoppers resembled Bali Timur statues, with a serpent head atop a Batak warrior. The outside of the container showed a calendar, marked to represent the days of use and non-use for the tube's contents.
