Two linked pieces of brown softwood. The major component is fitted into the secondary component. Each piece has a bend in the opposite direction which allows them to fit together in a flat or an open arrangement. A serrated-edged iron blade is fitted into an extension from the major component. When fitted together, the two pieces form a seat in the shape of an "x" (in profile), with the blade extending in the front. The edges are clean or beveled and suggest western-type tools, such as a saw and plane. Some pencil marks as guides for cuts are apparent.

There is a hand grip carved into the wood at the end where the metal prongs are attached. Eight metal parallel prongs are held in place by a cross piece metal bar attached to the base by wire loops threaded and resting on a right angled strip of metal at one end, and a strip of wood at the other. There is a round metal sleeve on each prong. The strips of lightweight metal are wound around the base of each prong (or key) to act as resonators. The top face has a linear design burnt into the wood.
