Description: | An incomplete post-Medieval copper-alloy Jews harp (dating from about AD 1500 - 1800). Most of the iron prong that was plucked to produce a note is missing.In plan, it has a circular head and tapering arms both of which are characteristically lozenge-shaped in cross-section. The outer diameter of the head is 25.9mm. At the apex, on the front face, is a rabbet to accommodate the (missing) iron prong. A small scar exists where the prong was attached.. The arms are complete. The surfaces are reddish brown.Length: 63.73mm; width: 26.9mm; thickness: 5.83m. Weight: 17.7g.Similar examples are illustrated in Bailey, G, 1993, 'Detector Finds 2', 76-77, refs: 4-6. Bailey (page 76) suggests that these examples date to the eighteenth century.Compare IOW-2527AB.
