The body is a cut coconut shell covered with a glued-on fish skin membrane and perforated several times. The strings are supported by a round timber with a turned wooden foot attached to the thin spike extension underneath the shell. A recessed pegbox with two flank pegs running through it from the right and left. Two strings made of twisted nylon material. Two string guide notches in the slightly raised edge of the pegbox. An almost cylindrical wooden bridge. The lower strings are attached to the spike between the resonator and the wooden attachment. A bow is missing. The peg, spit attachment and neck tip are decoratively turned. from Ulrich Wegner: Afrikanische Saiteninstrumente, Staatliche Museen Berlin - SPK, 1984 (Appendix Object Catalogue)
