The half-pear-shaped body, the elongated neck shell, which continues in a flowing transition, and the semi-circularly recurved pegbox are made from a single piece of wood. Above the body opening, a mammal skin membrane folded over briefly to the outside and nailed on below a surrounding fabric band. Above the neck opening a nailed wooden cover with a round opening and an openwork rosette. Five turned wooden flank pegs inserted on the left side and two strings made of twisted animal tissue are preserved. Originally probably six strings in a double-choir arrangement. A carved nut with six string guide notches. The lower tailpiece is a carved, triple-slit body extension. Two perforations on the underside of the body. An inset square mirror at the head of the curved peg holder. "Musical instrument, of Arab origin. Zanzibar." from Ulrich Wegner: Afrikanische Saiteninstrumente, Staatliche Museen Berlin - SPK, 1984 (appendix object catalogue)
