content: From card: "This is very much like the Fiji "Lali" 2,827. Excavated like a trough from a solid log, the back is convex and tapers from the middle towards the ends. The opening at the top is about six in. wide at the ends and 8 in. at the middle, which expands to about 11 in. at the greatest diameter. The opening is 47 in. long at top. The solid wood of the ends commences about 3 1/2 in. from one end and 4 1/2 in. from the other, the ends being sunken something like the head of a barrel and the chime. The convexity of the back is such that the highest point is six in. above one end and 4 1/2 in. above the other."
