Shell tremor, long, Tanzania
Six-stringed plucked instrument with a long rectangular body hollowed out on the inside. The outside is rounded. The long sides contain an incised, serrated ornamental band with monochrome colouring on the surfaces. One of the short sides contains a cylindrical handle with a sheet iron knob flared at the end. The strings of bast cords are passed through holes and knotted. A leather strap is attached to the instrument as a carrying aid. Provenance: Tanzania, East Africa. The object belongs to the estate of the senior general practitioner Georg Wilke (*1859 Dresden +1938 Rochlitz), which initially went to the teaching collection of the Rochlitz secondary school after his death and was transferred to the collection of Rochlitz Castle in the 1960s.
