A membrane pegged over the round wooden bowl. A yoke arm inserted (!) into the diverging longitudinal rods, slightly bent towards the centre. Ball rings that bind the upper string ends together with strips of cloth. The lower string ends are passed in two groups of three strings each near the shell wall through two perforations in the top and one in the wall and tied to a crosspiece on the outside. There is a further perforation underneath the string tension. A linear burnt pattern on the underside of the bowl in broad, opposing hatching. Both long arms are wrapped with strips of heavily hairy fur along their entire length. Produced for export. from Ulrich Wegner: Afrikanische Saiteninstrumente, Staatliche Museen Berlin - SPK, 1984 (Appendix Object Catalogue)
