It is tensioned by means of a woollen cord with a wire core against an iron tension ring resting on the outside of the bowl. Longitudinal arms diverging towards the crossbar and abutting against the lower shell wall inside the body. String and tuning ball material not preserved. A wire loop attached to the tension ring, probably used as a lower tailpiece. A slender skin plectrum and a holding cord made of twisted plant material are attached to the longitudinal bars. A perforation in the centre of the bottom of the bowl. Three groups of three perforations arranged in a triangle in the top of the body. from Ulrich Wegner: Afrikanische Saiteninstrumente, Staatliche Museen Berlin - SPK, 1984 (Appendix Object Catalogue)
