Attribution - NonCommercial - ShareAlike 4.0 InternationalAt one end of the staff [is] an oval segment, the other end ending in two broadly projecting and inwardly curved extensions that fork vertically. One of the two strings [is] (probably not original) stretched along the side surface of the bar. Inside the calabash resonator [is the] connection of the string loop made of plant material to a crossbar made of cane. A quill is missing. There is a rich notched pattern on both sides of the rod. Predominantly zigzag-shaped ornamentation. Between the three handle points [is a] pointed widening of the stick surface on both sides. from Ulrich Wegner: Afrikanische Saiteninstrumente, Staatliche Museen Berlin - SPK, 1984 (Appendix Object Catalogue)
