The piece of skin stretched over the opening of the hemispherical calabash is fastened on the outside with iron nails. A round, straight string carrier with a widened head section, which is diametrically spiked through the sound box. Parallel to this are two longitudinal rods resting on the edges of the shell and running under the membrane, which pierce the skin near the edge and end in widely protruding ends that are also widened at the tip, particularly at the front. A rectangular wooden notched bar erected on a small board resting transversely on the membrane. Ten strings of twisted plant fibre, arranged biplane in two groups of five in the edge notches along the bridge. The strings are fastened together at the neck under a surrounding strip of skin (nailing?). Two strings are joined together to form a pair below the neck joint. The three arms protruding at the front are wrapped in skin and studded with cowrie shells, which are pushed under raised skin flaps. Skin and calabash coloured red. A carrying loop at the tip of the neck. Produced for export. from Ulrich Wegner: Afrikanische Saiteninstrumente, Staatliche Museen Berlin - SPK, 1984 (Appendix Object Catalogue)
