Like no. 289 [III B 2639] The body, however, is composed of nineteen pieces of wood. Only one large sound hole, filled with an openwork rosette integrating a crown as a motif. Ten alternately inserted flank pegs and two free pegbox holes. The instrument is set up for six double choirs. Two of the nine surviving strings are broken. The three highest courses are strung with strings made of twisted animal tissue, while the remaining strings are wound around a woollen core with wire. In front of the glued-on tailpiece is a wooden soundboard support with a floral marquetry pattern. The lower edge of the top is covered with a green leather strip. Inlaid decoration also on the neck and the outside of the body. A glued-on saddle made of bone(?). Maker's mark on a piece of paper glued to the inside of the body: "sinäca Mahmüd Mu hammad al-Hifnäwi säric al- hallg al-misri bil-qurb min bäb al- halq" ('Workshop of Mahmüd Muhammad al-Hifnäwi. al-hallg al-misri street near the neighbourhood bäb al- halq.'). "Cairo". from Ulrich Wegner: African Stringed Instruments, Staatliche Museen Berlin - SPK, 1984 (Appendix Object Catalogue)
