Description: | A Jews' Harp cast from copper-alloy. The tip of one of the two prongs is missing and the remnant is bent at an angle crossing underneath the other. The head and the remaining prong have the characteristic lozenge shaped cross-section. The head is oval in shape. The rabbet from the tongue survives on 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 47.0mm long, 20.4mm wide, 5.1mm thick and weighs 5.79 grams.
