[There are eight diagonally drilled string guide perforations. Eight strings. One end of the string is tied to a crosspiece behind an outer perforation, the other is wrapped around a stem extension carved lengthways. An unused stem perforation. Four cord loops hanging down below the base of the bowl and fixed by a knot above a perforation in the base. There are three star-shaped perforations in the centre line of the bowl base.
