Description: | Post Medieval cast copper alloy Jews harp. The head is an asymmetrical loop with a hexagonal cross-section. The loop has an external diameter of 26.47mm, an internal diameter of 17.43mm and is 3.7mm thick. Iron corrosion adheres to the top of the loop, probably from the missing iron tongue. There are two parallel arms with a lozenge cross section. The arms are slightly curved outwards on their inside edge, and curved slightly inwards on their outside edge. One of the arms is broken at the tip. The surface of the arms and part of the loop are covered in very small diagonal lines. It has an even green patina with little wear on the surface. The maximum length is 55.19mm, maximum width 26.47mm, maximum thickness 3.7mm and it weighs 7.36 grams. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | McLean, Laura - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
