At one end of the rod in a straight extension [are] two curved extensions that fork vertically. The inner of the three handles [is] without mirror-image doubling. Only a fragment of siren made of plant fibre [is] preserved. A quill is missing. The lower edge of the calabash collar [is] broken off to form an almost round outline. Fracture damage to the spherical resonance calabash. Between the handle pins [are] sharpened extensions of the stick surface on both sides. from Ulrich Wegner: Afrikanische Saiteninstrumente, Staatliche Museen Berlin - SPK, 1984 (appendix object catalogue)
