Like no. 290 [III E 346] However, the string material is missing entirely. The arrangement of the string guide notches in the nut indicates two double choirs and a single choir. Five left flank pegs made of wood with long, drop-shaped heads. A round depression in the neck and a group of nine small, round perforations. A round opening in the body shell. Notched pattern on the pegbox and on the neck cover. from Ulrich Wegner: Afrikanische Saiteninstrumente, Staatliche Museen Berlin - SPK, 1984 (Appendix Object Catalogue)
