The two forked extensions of the string carrier [are] broken off. Between the three grip points [are] pointed extensions of the stick surface on both sides. A strongly waisted calabash collar that opens up again at the top. The spherical resonance calabash [is] connected through two perforations by means of a twisted leather cord. The woollen cord [is possibly] original? [A] rich incised pattern (geometric/animal motifs) and fire decoration [are] on both sides of the staff. A fine incised pattern runs around [the] opening edge of the resonator. from Ulrich Wegner: Afrikanische Saiteninstrumente, Staatliche Museen Berlin - SPK, 1984 (Appendix Object Catalogue)
