Like no. 110 [object ident. No. ->III E 3672b: A narrow, elongated bowl with longitudinal walls that merge with the base in a curve and steep transverse walls (type C). [There are] six diagonally drilled string guide perforations. Six strings. One end of the string is tied to a crosspiece behind an outer perforation, the other is passed through a perforation in a carved handle extension and wrapped around it several times. The string is only incompletely preserved. There are two small, blocked perforations in the bottom of the bowl. Made from the wood of the mzopazopa tree. When in use, it is placed against an inverted hollow and this gives it a very good sound]. However, there are eight slits on one narrow side. The string cord and the wooden bridges inserted into the recessed edges [are] completely preserved. Seven strings. One end of the string is tied to a crosspiece below an outer slit, the other hangs down long after the string has been clamped onto the rim of the bowl under two outer braces, gathered into a bundle. A loop of plant material tied to two longitudinal perforations. The perforation pattern in the base of the shell and the incised pattern [are] slightly different. "nanga.
