An elongated, almost rectangular wooden board. There is a strip of rattan spanning the string carrier [seven times], each time twisted through two neighbouring round, narrow-edged perforations. On one narrow side [is] a second, parallel row of perforations with no function for the string course. One string end below an outer perforation [is] tied to a crosspiece, the other is wound several times towards the edge of the board. Crosswise under the strings [are] two plano-convex wooden bars. In the centre of the board [are] three round perforations. from Ulrich Wegner: Afrikanische Saiteninstrumente, Staatliche Museen Berlin - SPK, 1984 (Appendix Object Catalogue)
