Tsambouna sound production device, with grooved cane base, 315 mm in length. It has two melodic pipes, each with 5 finger holes and two bibiki with a single reed. A thread is wrapped around the base of the reeds to adjust the pitch. At the lower end of the device is a funnel made of animal horn with a serrated rim, with a total of 9 holes on its surface. It bears dotted decoration (originally drawn in pencil) in the shape of a heart, as well as an inscription that reads: “Φ.Τ.Ζ.”. At the edge of the funnel, a tassel with white and blue threads is glued.
