Double-headed, rattle drum with an hourglass-shaped wooden body and glued animal skin membranes. Around the waist of the body is a cloth band from which two fabric-covered pellets are suspended with cord. When playing, these pellets are meant to strike the drum heads. Attached to this same band is a padded cloth handle.
