Both ends of gourd are cut off; the wide end has a piece of animal skin stretched across it and is held in place by a strip of leather which is glued to the gourd. A hole is cut in the center of the skin through which a length of braided plant fibers is rubbed to create vibrations. Skin has been ripped from hole toward edge of gourd. Piece of red wool and a length of rawhide are wrapped around the narrow section of the gourd. Bag containing resin is also included.
