Outside this, on both sides, is another and coarser ring, to which is attached the string which, with a very sparse braid, joins the rings to each other and with which the skins are tightened. Between the rings to which the skins are attached eight more similar rings. Date: 1892 (acquisition by the museum). Place of creation: Suriname. Collection: The National Museums of World Culture.
