Masai man playing a traditional ornate litunga, Kenya stringed musical instrument. The litungu has a large resonating bowl made from a karai that is about 42cm in diameter. A sturdy wooden frame juts out of the bowl and widens as it gets to the top. The strings that run parallel to the frame are made of sisal and are fastened by knobbles onto the cross bar. It was often played along with ibiturani – large, pea-pod-shaped metal rattles on a stick.
