| Description | Double-headed barrel drum struck directly with hands. Cords are stretched from membrane to membrane in a zig-zag pattern, each cord-pair having a tension ring looped around it for tuning. There are seven tuning rings of braided rawhide on the rawhide cords, which form an "X" pattern between rawhide rings which hold the two membranes in place. The instrument body has been painted dark red. There are several areas in which the paint has been chipped or scratched off.
Two small (2 cm) holes, possibly for suspending or attaching a carrying strap, are located on the side of the body.
This Ketipung appears to be in good condition.
