Riqq
A frame drum made of a wooden circular structure with a rectangular slit for handle, and an animal skin membrane, probably fish, is glued onto the rim. There are twelve miniature rattle cymbals in six pairs, grouped into three sections attached to the frame. There appears to be one section from which they have gone missing.
