The bar surface [is] widened into a leaf shape at one end of the string support, the other end [is] terminated in two forked, curved extensions connected by cross braces. All the strings made of twisted plant fibre [are] torn. The entire resonator construction is missing. A rich notched pattern with coarse and fine relief [is] on one side of the stick. Between the fingering points [is a] pointed widening of the stick surface on both sides.
