This painted instrument, richly decorated with shells and scrolls of various sizes, has all the characteristics of a tarompèt. It has frontal tone holes and no thumb hole. The body is decorated with yellow-green painted shells, especially on the funnel and the underside of the coconut segment that serves as the lip disc. The bell consists of a larger snail, which has been given a menacing face in the form of two sparkling eyes and a large nose. This is reminiscent of both the dragon head of the Javanese Sruni and the bells with Tibetan tutelary gods. The reed support is fitted with a coconut shell segment as a cheek rest. A cord was attached to hang the instrument around the neck. The mouthpiece is missing.
