A rattan lashing supports the arm to the shank. There is a small rounded light grey stone secured to the top of the shank by a rope lashing on the same side as the wooden arm. At the crown is a wooden eye carved from the shank through which passes a rattan rope for tripping, one end of which is secured around the shank just above the arm and the other passes through a rope loop at the top of the shank.
