Behind the three grip points a thicker saddle pin, also arranged in two directions. At the other end of the bar [are] two broadly projecting arms that fork vertically. The string material of the two stretched strings, as well as the connection of the resonator construction, [is] probably not original. The spherical calabash resonator [is] largely covered with [a] branding pattern: Predominantly rows of triangular shapes, filled in with cross-hatching. from Ulrich Wegner: Afrikanische Saiteninstrumente, Staatliche Museen Berlin - SPK, 1984 (Appendix Object Catalogue)
