Description: | A Jews' Harp cast from copper-alloy. The head and the two prongs all have the characteristic lozenge shaped cross-section. The head is oval in shape. The rabbet from the tongue survives on the head; it is filled with iron corrosion from the missing tongue. There are file marks on the inner and outer edges of the head. Jews harps do not change much in design so are hard to date, this example is most likely to be Late medieval or Post Medieval in date. It is 62.3mm long, 26.9mm wide, 9.3mm thick and weighs 19.1 grams.
