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.
