Like no. 122 [object ident. No. -> III E 5965: A narrow, elongated bowl with longitudinal walls that merge with the base in a curve and steep transverse walls (type C). [There are six diagonally drilled string guide perforations. Six strings. One end of the string is tied to a crosspiece behind an outer perforation, the other is guided through a perforation in a carved handle extension and wrapped around it several times. The string is only incompletely preserved. There are two small, blocked perforations in the bottom of the bowl. Made from the wood of the mzopazopa tree. When in use, it is placed against an inverted hollow and this gives it a very good sound]. The string guide perforations, however, [are] burnt in. Instead of the cross-wood binding [there is] a knotting of the string behind an outer perforation. There are two unstuffed, small perforations in the centre line of the bottom of the bowl. On the outside of the long sides of the shell [there is] a branding pattern. "Only played by unmarried men. The instrument is placed on an inverted wooden hollow." from Ulrich Wegner: Afrikanische Saiteninstrumente, Staatliche Museen Berlin - SPK, 1984 (Appendix Object Catalogue)
