A longitudinally oval shell body made of wood. Skin strap tensioning the membrane against a skin tensioning ring resting on the underside of the shell. The tensioning cord is combined to form radial cord paths. Longitudinal arms diverging slightly towards the crossbar. One of the eight strings only preserved in fragments. Tangle rings binding the strings together with old string material. The ends of the strings are passed through a membrane perforation and a wall perforation near the lower shell wall and attached to two iron nails resting on the outside. The edge of the shell and the point at which the strings pass through are reinforced with additional skin supports. The remnants of a more extensive soundboard support in the form of a flat pressed plant stalk lying transversely under the strings. Remains of an adhesive mass applied to the skin. A carved, button-shaped projection in the centre of the underside of the shell. A multiple perforated horn tip attached to the upper edge of the membrane. A carrying strap of twisted skin material running between the body and the crossbar. Thickened crossbar ends. Recessed pattern in the partially preserved cover hair. The outside of the bowl partially stained red and blue. from Ulrich Wegner: Afrikanische Saiteninstrumente, Staatliche Museen Berlin - SPK, 1984 (Appendix Object Catalogue)
