The body is a hemispherical calabash half with a pegged lizard skin membrane folded over far to the outside. A large, round membrane opening on the side. The string holder is a straight round wooden stick with the ponytail hair string tied to the free end with goatskin straps. The lower tailpiece is a sling made of antelope leather that extends from the spit far onto the top. The lower end of the string is knotted behind a coin perforated in the centre, which is buttoned through the spout of the loop. A cross-shaped wooden bridge. The bow is a flat, curved iron rod with horsehair strings. The bow string is looped into a knot at one end behind a perforation and fastened at the other end under cloth and cord wrappings. At the end of the neck is a hanger made of goatskin straps with knotted beads, coins, a cowrie shell and a belt buckle.
