The body of the instrument is a longitudinally stretched calabash shard covered with skin. Skin strap tensioning the membrane against a tensioning ring of the same material resting on the underside of the shell. As part of the membrane skin, the tensioning ring is fused to it at one point and repaired with plant material at another. Markings on the outside of the sherd from a different (older?) membrane lacing. Longitudinal arms diverging towards the crossbar. Five wire strings. Tangle rings binding the strings together with twisted vegetable string. Attached wire sections that extend the strings near the lower shell wall through a membrane perforation and a wall perforation. The membrane perforation is covered with an adhesive. In addition, nine irregularly distributed round perforations in the top. The lower tailpiece is a crosspiece resting on the outside of the shell. An angular wooden bridge. A red holding cord running back and forth between the two longitudinal arms, to which a very slender, long skin pick is finally attached. from Ulrich Wegner: Afrikanische Saiteninstrumente, Staatliche Museen Berlin - SPK, 1984 (Appendix Object Catalogue)
