Shell lyre

As no. 187 [III E 2308], but partly strung with nylon strings. Paper and bark strips bound into the ball rings. No colour contrasting of the tension cords. The strings are tied to string extensions before passing through the membrane. The string attachment to the yoke is not centred, but tends towards a longitudinal bar. The yoke is wrapped with strips of fur near the yoke angles, the hairs of which fall down long. Attached by nails or metal clamps. from Ulrich Wegner: Afrikanische Saiteninstrumente, Staatliche Museen Berlin - SPK, 1984 (Appendix Object Catalogue)
