Description: | A copper-alloy Jew's harp, which is lozenge shaped in section and 61.27mm in length and 26.33mm in width at the head end. The iron, spring strip or tongue, which was twanged to make the noise is missing as it has rusted away, traces of iron can still be seen at the centre of the head. Jew's harps with rounded heads were found in London excavations (Egan 1998 285)and are dated from late 13th century but jews harps have remained in use into the 20th century. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1600
