The body of the instrument is an elongated wooden bowl, rounded on the narrow sides towards the base, with a rectangular opening outline. A skin completely enveloping the resonator and the funnel-shaped spout extension carved on the front, bound together in several seams on the outside and underside. The neck is a slightly curved thin roundwood, somewhat flattened at the peg perforations. Grommet shaft shape. The pegs are missing. One of the five strings made of twisted animal tissue is completely preserved. Six perforations in the membrane and the tailpiece. In the front section of the top there is an additional rectangular opening in the side of the membrane. Where the neck joins the body, it is thickened by fabric wrappings. from Ulrich Wegner: Afrikanische Saiteninstrumente, Staatliche Museen Berlin - SPK, 1984 (Appendix Object Catalogue)
