Description: | A worn and corroded post-medieval cast copper-alloy jew's harp. The head is rounded and there is evidence of the former spring strip in the form of iron corrosion around the central rabbet. The section profile is difficult to establish because of the corrosion. Traces survive of a golden-coloured coating, probably tin. The tip of one of the arms had become broken off and re-attached by the finder using sellotape. The rounded head suggests a seventeenth or eighteenth century date for this object. C.f.
