Eleven holes are made in this space at its front edge through the face of the wood More than half from the front part of this base is hollowed out from one side, and the opening closed with a thin piece of wood cemented in. An iron bridge made from a flat thin piece of iron is bent like a staple and laid on its edge on top of back. Ten iron tongues are lashed across the bridge and leather and a narrow rider laid upon the tongues and lashed down by I1 loops of split rattan passing through the row of holes in the top. Seven of the tongues are strung with blue beads, between the bridge and the rider, one of them having two such heads. Brass headed nails are driven in the top in front of the tongues as an ornament."
