A: The body of the instrument is an oblong shaped half of a coconut shell. The rounded back side of the body is a dark brown/maroon color and has a glossy finish on the wood. In the center of the back there is a carving in the surface of the shell. A few lined circles have been scored into the shell creating a ring around the central carving. Eight circles of a light colored wood have been inserted in the ring for decoration. The caring is of a few trees and two figures which are either both animals or a man and an animal fighting amongst the trees. This carving has been done right through the shell showing the interior of the instrument body is hollow. The top surface of the shell is flat and has been covered with a thin piece of unfinished wood. There is a maker's mark stamped on the surface of this wood but it has bled and therefore is illegible. Drilled through the top sides of the shell are two holes into which the long neck of the instrument has been inserted. This piece of wood is a long cylindrical stick which takes on a rectangular shape near the end and curves forming a V shaped top. Attached atop this V is an amber colored piece of plastic. Drilled into the rectangular part of the neck are two holes into which are inserted two thin cylindrical handles with rounded tops. These handles have grooves running horizontally around them. Attached at the bottom of these handle are the cords of the instrument. When the handles are spun these cords either loosen or tighten. The cords run parallel to the neck of the instrument over the flat wooden front and then are tied at the end of the body. A looped piece of cord on the neck of the instrument keeps the cords from being too loose. B: This piece is the long thick wooden bow that is used in order to play the instrument. The body of the bow is a long stick that is slightly curved and has the notched appearance of a piece of bamboo. A hole has been drilled in one end with a notch in the other and knots have been inserted in these holes to hold the strings in place. The strings are presumably made of horse hair and are black and dark brown in color. The strings are tight and run parallel the body of the wooden bow. A few of the strings however have broken and become loose from the object. The wood is a dark brown color with patches of light brown on its surface and has a shiny finish.

Part of this front piece of wood has a crack that has broken and is lifting away from the body of the guitar. Attached near the rounded end there is a rectangular piece of wood with curves in two of the corners. There is a jade design inlaid into the wood that looks like a book and a snake. Drilled into this dark brown piece of wood are four holes into which are attached the plastic and cord strings of the guitar. From the midway point of the body to wear the neck of the guitar begins there are ten thin wooden sticks running across the top of the guitar which make up the frets. The neck of the guitar is thick and rectangular at the top before dipping down sharply and curving back over onto itself. On the rectangular part of the neck and rectangular piece of plastic two white ones on either end and four yellow ones in the middle. The piece that dips downward has a space cut out of the middle and four wooden handles are inserted into holes drilled into the wood.

Midway up the front the guitar and onto the neck there are eight thin raised pieces of wood attached that make up the frets of the instrument. The neck of the instrument is a rectangular type shape which gets wider near the end before curving downward. Just before the curve there is a rectangular space that has been cut out of the neck of the object. Holes have been drilled through this space and four cylindrical handles with rounded ends have been inserted through the holes. Wrapped around the lower sections of this handles are the other ends of the strings and when twisted the strings are either tightened or loosened. Two handles stick out one side and two stick out the opposite side. These strings are made of a clear plastic type material.
