298 cm x 200 cm x 60 cm (Handle length: 200 mm, gear diameter: 60 mm, cane external diameter: 31-32 mm.)
Cane ratchet, of a total length of 298 mm. The shaft that produces sound is made of a thick piece of cane, from which two long strips stand out. One of them strikes the teeth of the wooden gear when it rotates. The second one is shorter and does not touch the gear. A piece of branch has been added to the instrument as a handle. On the underside of the gear, there is a painted design that follows its border and was probably used as a cutting guide. The node at the end of the cane is closed.
