A very thin string carrier. Both ends of the staff [are] widened vertically like stamps. Two strings [are] made of twisted bast fibre, both [however] only preserved in fragments, probably ran over and next to the staff. In front of and between the three grip points [are] small bumps carved on both sides. The quillons, which were once attached with woollen cord, are missing. Severe breakage [exists] on the spherical resonance calabash. [The] transverse wood connection [is] inside the resonator. The calabash collar [is] sewn with coloured fabric cord at two break points. from Ulrich Wegner: Afrikanische Saiteninstrumente, Staatliche Museen Berlin - SPK, 1984 (Appendix Object Catalogue)
