An elongated bowl with a broad, almost flat base, slightly widening narrow rims and a rounded bowl and opening outline (type A). The narrow edges [are] gently sloping towards the outside. There are seven string slots on each side. The string cord is missing. The two bridges, originally inserted into the recessed edges, are also missing. Each with a small, round, narrow-edged perforation for attaching the string ends. The long edges and the underside of the bowl are coloured red, while the narrow edges are burnt black. On the long side, there is a flat hatched burnt pattern. In the bottom of the bowl [are] numerous perforations of different shapes, fired in a mirror-image arrangement. from Ulrich Wegner: Afrikanische Saiteninstrumente, Staatliche Museen Berlin - SPK, 1984 (appendix object catalogue)
