The bulibuli has a straight and fair long handle (difference with a Ula Bulibuli) and a rounded percussion head. At its end the striking head is rounded and provided with round protuberances, similar to buttons, intended to strengthen the percussion effect. The bulibuli can be decorated with inlays (shells, etc.).[1]
