Friction drum, of a total length of 179 mm. The instrument consists of a woven body with plant strips, on the upper part of which a membrane is fitted. In the centre of the membrane there is a protrusion that forms a slot on the inner side. A reed was probably adapted to this slot, the rubbing of which caused the skin membrane to vibrate.
