An elongated bowl with steep inner walls and a flat bottom; slightly curved towards the narrow sides, each of which has six diagonally drilled string guide perforations (type D). One end of the string is wrapped around a longitudinally carved stem extension, the other [is] clamped on the rim of the bowl under the last tension and secured with a knot. A spherical calabash resonator open at the top. A connecting cord running around the bowl below the string level. This is also tied to a round crosspiece resting under the calabash opening. On the resonator there are numerous seams with vegetable string. The longitudinal walls of the bowl [are] carved on the outside using the notch-cut technique. Geometric and animal motifs. There is a large, carved, wheel-shaped projection on the handle. from Ulrich Wegner: Afrikanische Saiteninstrumente, Staatliche Museen Berlin - SPK, 1984 (Appendix Object Catalogue)
