a.) Dark hardwood [serves] as string support material. One string [consists] of twisted bast fibre. One of the ends of the stick tapers off, tending upwards. The string loop, with which the spherical resonator and the strongly waisted calabash collar are tied to the stick, lies between two small elevations in the surface of the stick. The second crosspiece connection [is located] inside the resonator. [A] slight incised pattern on one side of the stick. b.) Two strings [are] made of twisted bast fibre. Due to a step-like stepping, [a] tapering of one end of the bar, which rises slightly. Between the three grip points [are] pointed extensions of the stick surface on both sides. Apart from the connecting cord, the entire resonator device is missing. The course of the second, broken string possibly along one side of the stick. from Ulrich Wegner: Afrikanische Saiteninstrumente, Staatliche Museen Berlin - SPK, 1984 (Appendix Object Catalogue)
