Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy Jews harp of Post-Medieval date. It is missing the iron tongue due to old breaks but is otherside intact. The object has a rounded head with two projecting prongs that are slightly bent as a result of post-depositional damage. It is lozenge shaped in section and all surfaces have extensive diagonal filing marks. At the top of the head end one side has a central rabbet but all that remains of the iron tongue are small patches of iron corrosion on and around the rabbett. It measures 82.78mm in length, 33.99mm in width at head, 9.99mm in thickness, and weighs 37.23g. This is a Post-Medieval Jews harp probably dating to between the 16th and 18th centuries AD. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
