One of the two strings of twisted bast fibre [is] stretched along the side surface of the stick. Between the three grip points [are] pointed extensions of the stick surface on both sides. Opposite this [is] a slightly upwardly projecting end of the stick. The collar attachment above the heavily damaged spherical calabash is missing. On the resonator [are] broken seams with bast material. [A] cross-wood connection of the loop [is] inside the resonator. from Ulrich Wegner: Afrikanische Saiteninstrumente, Staatliche Museen Berlin - SPK, 1984 (appendix object catalogue)
