Description: | An iron jews harp. The instrument has a circular bow. The jews harp is damaged and one of the arms is broken. The spring strip (used to create the twanging sound) is missing and the only evidence of it is a slight protrusion at the inner centre of the bow. The object is likely to be post-medieval and probably dates from the 17th or 18th centuries.
