Seven strings. One end of the string is looped into a knot below an outer slit, the other is wound around the outside through two edge slits and finally secured with a knot. Along the rounding of the narrow side [there is] a thin wooden bridge with its ends inserted into recesses in the rim. Eleven round perforations burnt into the base of the bowl. On the base and the bowl rims [is] a rich burnt, incised and scratched pattern. Mostly geometric motifs filled in with simple or opposing hatching]. However, the string cord [is] only preserved in fragments. Together with the two bridges that have not survived, [it has] since been completed. A loop made of twisted plant material [has been preserved] that runs through two perforations in the base. There are fourteen such perforations in total. Inscription on the underside of the bowl: " Kinanda aus Ukerewe/gek. Spt. 93. " from Ulrich Wegner: Afrikanische Saiteninstrumente, Staatliche Museen Berlin - SPK, 1984 (Appendix Object Catalogue)
