Two strings of twisted animal tissue. One string [is] stretched along one side of the stick. At one end of the stick [is] a carved, hook-shaped extension extending the stick to connect both strings. The calabash [has] a broken seam. Remnants of a circumferential seam [exist] at the lower edge of the opening. Between and next to the fingering points [are] pointed, peg-shaped and circular extensions of the staff surface on both sides. On the string-covered side of the stick [is] a full-surface, geometric notched pattern. from Ulrich Wegner: Afrikanische Saiteninstrumente, Staatliche Museen Berlin - SPK, 1984 (Appendix Object Catalogue)
