Default 'War Paint pot' yeah right! - African Bronze

Heres a little pot I bought at the weekend. Picked it up to have a look and the chap selling it decided to give me its lifestory!
Well, tell me a tall tale anyway!
Apparently its a warriors 'war paint pot' LOL that his grandfather bought back from some conflict in Africa!

I think he mistook my trying not to laugh for enthusiasm
But as it was cheapish and I couldn't keep the grin off my face I ended up buying it!
In fairness, it does seem to have real age.
So, can anyone tell me what it really was made for? Oh, and where its from?
