Description: | Jews harp made of copper alloy. The circular-shaped fragment which forms the top of the jews harp differs from the straighter sided, seventeenth century examples and can therefore be dated to the eighteenth century. The circular-shaped top, or bow, has a lozenge shaped cross-section. The tongue, formed by two narrow strips attached to, and extending out from the bow, is missing. This missing part would have been twanged to produce a sound. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | McCaul, Natalie | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
