The wooden part of the handle is 55 cm long in total and is covered by horsehair after the actual handle part, which is attached with an iron clip in the lower part and an iron wire in the upper part. The spelling of the cultural attribution varies in the sources; on the old index cards in the museum, the term "Bangua" is predominantly used.

Military interventions against the "Bangwa" took place in the collection period between 1901-1902, in which Strümpell was involved as a lieutenant or first lieutenant of the German Schutztruppe.
