Bow harp
A boat-shaped wooden body completely wrapped in a piece of skin sewn together on the underside and back of the body. The neck is a strongly curved wooden stick with an almost round cross-section. Shaft with socket moulding. Wrapped strips of cloth around the spout, which is wrapped in skin, with a knotted carrying loop. Two of probably five original left-handed wooden pegs with long, cylindrical peg heads and split tips have survived. Two preserved strings made of twisted animal tissue, clamped in the peg gap and wound around the tip. Six perforations in the tailpiece moulding. Two large, rectangular membrane openings arranged in the diagonal. Remnants of blue paint on the body top. The base of the neck is wrapped with white and pink strings of beads, the free end of the neck with a red strip of fabric. from Ulrich Wegner: Afrikanische Saiteninstrumente, Staatliche Museen Berlin - SPK, 1984 (Appendix Object Catalogue)
