Shell spit sounds
A reptile skin membrane pegged over the opening of the pot-like wooden body. A straight round wooden stick with a long front peg serves as a string carrier. The thick string twisted from plant fibres is looped around an iron nail stuck in the cross-section of the end of the spike. There is also a loose string wrapped around the rod. Two notches cut into the back of the neck underneath the peg (probably for moving a tuning loop). The side of the bowl wall has a large, almost rectangular opening, while the base of the bowl has a round opening in the centre with a raised rim and two additional perforations. A remnant of cord there. A decorative nail on some parts of the outside of the body. from Ulrich Wegner: Afrikanische Saiteninstrumente, Staatliche Museen Berlin - SPK, 1984 (appendix to the object catalogue)
