A three-armed frame. A crossbar of the same wood attached to a long branch fork. The five strings of twisted plant fibre run from the latter to four perforations in the section of wood below the fork. An otherwise disorganised and not original string course. Some string ends knotted together behind the perforations. An outer perforation running through from two string cords. from Ulrich Wegner: Afrikanische Saiteninstrumente, Staatliche Museen Berlin - SPK, 1984 (Appendix Object Catalogue)
