The wooden body shell in the form of a transverse half cylinder. The upper and side openings are covered by a membrane. The edges of the skin are folded over, partially sewn together and tensioned against each other on the outside of the shell by a web of skin straps. Plant cane/grass remnants underneath the webbing. Two parallel longitudinal arms also resting on the lower shell rim under the membrane. One thicker crossbar. Five strings. Ball rings to which the strings are tied using plant string material. At the lower edge of the body, the string is passed through a membrane and a wall perforation and tied to an iron crossbar on the outside. A cylindrical plant tube bridge. A round opening in one of the membrane-covered narrow sides. A pair of cowrie shells attached to a longitudinal arm. A vertical row of five small, round perforations in the membrane along the underside of a longitudinal arm. from Ulrich Wegner: Afrikanische Saiteninstrumente, Staatliche Museen Berlin - SPK, 1984 (Appendix Object Catalogue)
