zeze

The string support is slightly rounded. The centre of the three finger positions [is] without a mirror image counterpart. The only saddle [is] another Zvlindrian peg protruding from both sides of the staff. Only a small fragment of string made of bast fibre [is] preserved. The resonance calabash is missing. Both sides of the staff [have] richly carved notches. Zig-zag pattern in a parallel line. More detailed on one side of the stick than on the other. from Ulrich Wegner: Afrikanische Saiteninstrumente, Staatliche Museen Berlin - SPK, 1984 (Appendix Object Catalogue)
