Description
Rectangular dark wooden box with fourteen metal prongs or keys. There is a geometric design on the face of the box along the bottom edge. There is a hole drilled in each of the centre of the face, the reverse and the shortest side. When moved, there is a rattling inside which suggests it was also intended as a percussion instrument. The edge of the box at the key end is scalloped.
