A body nailed together from four wooden planks or bound together with rattan strips. Its cross-section is a triangle standing on its apex. A ceiling board protruding at the front in two curved points. Only the front side is closed with a triangular board. Six bows of branches with split tips running along the lower edge of the body and bound together by strips of rattan, in which the six strings of leaf spindle fern are clamped in front of the wrappings. At the back of the body, a string of rattan strips encircles the entire instrument and surrounds the tips of the bows, thickened on the top by windings to form a bridge. The strings, which have now been completely replaced, run along the back edge of the soundboard through six small perforations and around the exposed edge of the board and are finally tied to their own bracing. The body surfaces have been scorched. An animal motif ? from Ulrich Wegner: Afrikanische Saiteninstrumente, Staatliche Museen Berlin - SPK, 1984 (Appendix Object Catalogue)
