bowed shell spit sounds
The body is a ring cut out of a coconut shell and covered on one side with a single row of pegged mammal skin membrane. A round wooden string carrier tapering conically towards the spit. A long, protruding wooden peg passing through a square attachment. There is a fragment of string made of plant material. The bridge and the bow are not preserved. Two sewn cracks in the body wall. A large, fully carved figure at the top of the string support. A wooden rod runs through it at hip height. A notched pattern on the roundwood. from Ulrich Wegner: Afrikanische Saiteninstrumente, Staatliche Museen Berlin - SPK, 1984 (Appendix Object Catalogue)
