The body is a halved coconut shell with a glued-on fish skin membrane. The string support is a plano-convex wooden stick with a greatly reduced spit extension. The "fingerboard" and the body membrane lie in one plane. A glued-on peghead plate bent backwards with two whorled wooden pegs arranged at the back, supporting a peghead modelled on European pegs (one broken off). A carved, perforated extension on the peg plate. Only one string of very thinly twisted animal tissue is completely preserved. It is guided through a perforation in the vertebra tip before the wrappings. Eight small, round perforations in the top in a symmetrical arrangement. from Ulrich Wegner: Afrikanische Saiteninstrumente, Staatliche Museen Berlin - SPK, 1984 (Appendix Object Catalogue)
