Only the body of the instrument, made from a cylindrical block of wood, has survived. There are six perforations in the particularly thick end wall for inserting the bows. Two pairs of perforations opposite each other in the edge of the long walls, through which the unpreserved wooden ceiling was probably connected. A small incised pattern on one side of the body. from Ulrich Wegner: Afrikanische Saiteninstrumente, Staatliche Museen Berlin - SPK, 1984 (Appendix Object Catalogue)
