The clay vessel is pottery and increasingly bulges towards the covering, but then tapers again sharply at the upper edge so that the lower opening (base) has a larger diameter than the leather-covered opening. The leather is stretched tightly over the rim and firmly fixed to the clay body with the help of several threads. Above the widest bulge of the vessel, a double bar pattern is carved horizontally into the clay with a roller stamp. The instrument is used by children and adults, mainly at Christmas and during Holy Week. The pot is clamped under the left arm and the stick is rubbed rhythmically with the moistened right hand. Sometimes used as an accompanying instrument for singing or in an ensemble with mortars, scraps or rattles; still frequently used today. (Source: index card)
