At one end, the string carrier runs out in a straight line into two forked extensions. At the upper tip of the fork [is] a cylindrical saddle attachment, also doubled in mirror image. Between the three grip points [are] pointed extensions of the bar surface on both sides. In the spherical resonator calabash [are] several broken seams with thin woollen cord. The fabric cord for the resonator connection [is] probably not original. [There is] an incised pattern running around the opening edge of the calabash. The pattern areas [are] filled in by hatching in opposite directions. A small pattern [is] on the calabash collar. from Ulrich Wegner: Afrikanische Saiteninstrumente, Staatliche Museen Berlin - SPK, 1984 (Appendix Object Catalogue)
