A spherical fruit capsule with slits and pushed over the end of a wooden stick (handle half). Two thin wooden sticks inserted next to each other into the cross-sectional surface of the stick (game half). Fixation of the plug-in connection [is] ensured by tight cord windings. There is breakage damage to the fruit capsule. The contents of the vessel [are] not preserved. Rattle is used to strike the kinanda. Fruits of the senge senge tree, containing pieces of quartz. from Ulrich Wegner: Afrikanische Saiteninstrumente, Staatliche Museen Berlin - SPK, 1984 (Appendix Object Catalogue)
