The suondboard, the top plate covering the resonance box, has two semicircular sound holes. There is a drawing of a Bedouin with a giraffe on it. The bridge, tuning pegs and strings are missing. On the neck there is a small rectangular mirror. The head is wide and it is decorated with curved carvings, with stylized snakes and another small mirror. The central ornament looks like a wind rose. During the making process of the instrument, a small hole was made on the back of the instrument, to check the thickness of the instrument.
