Description on the index card: "Chordophone, bowl-necked lute" The bowl-shaped body with a circular base is carved from a single piece of wood together with the lower third of the neck, from which two horn-shaped projections protrude. The other two thirds of the plano-convex neck are joined together in a wedge shape. The free end of the neck closes with a hook-shaped pegbox, which is open at the bottom and contains five (3+2) flanked, T-shaped wooden pegs. The top is made of a leather membrane which is glued on and additionally fastened with 21 wooden nails. The neck has 12 (1 gut + 11 strings) frets consisting of multiple wrappings, which are knotted on the right side of the neck. Five strings made of string, presumably of recent date, are attached to two wooden pegs and a nail inserted in the lower rounding of the body. From there, the strings run over a low, trapezoidal, movable wooden bridge to the pegs. On both sides of the neck there is a groove 1 cm deep and 1 mm wide under the handle side, which extends from the lower peg to a point 7 cm above the two horn-shaped protrusions, i.e. a length of 51.5 cm.
