The body of the instrument is a longitudinally oval wooden shell. The membrane is stretched against a square piece of skin resting on the outside of the shell with tension cords made of twisted strips of skin which are wound back and forth in tight coils covering the entire surface and coloured dark in groups at intervals. The neck is a round wooden stick. 'Spoon-in-a-cup' shape. Eight right flank vertebrae made of wood with offset vertebra heads (partially replaced). Strings made of twisted animal tissue, partly replaced with original material. The ends of the tailpiece resting on the edge of the shell or on the base of the neck are visible above the top of the body after the membrane has been drilled through once. The front end of the tailpiece is tapered. A thin ring sewn into lizard skin encircles the neck below each peg. The base of the neck is wrapped in a bark fibre cloth. A round membrane opening on the side. from Ulrich Wegner: Afrikanische Saiteninstrumente, Staatliche Museen Berlin - SPK, 1984 (Appendix to the object catalogue)
