Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: West Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Jews' Harp cast from copper-alloy. One of the two prongs is missing. The remaining prong is short, 29.9mm, and has the characteristic lozenge shaped cross-section while the head is oval in section and plan. The rabbet on the head is formed of a slightly recessed slot flanked by two raised rectangular transverse bars. It is 57.7mm long, 28.5mm wide, 6.1mm thick, at the thickest point and weighs 7.38 grams. 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.

Object type: COIN WEIGHT
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: East Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Cast copper alloy weight stamped with S//21 on both sides indicating it is a weight for a Guinea (from 1717 priced at 21 shillings). 17.2mm in diameter, 4.6mm thick and weighs 8.02 grams, 124.4 grains. The weight of a guinea was 129.5 grains but this weight will reflect the legal minimum which was slightly lighter. This type of weight comes from a set of up to eleven weights produced around 1760-1773; such sets were made by a wide range of traders to weigh the range of gold coins in circulation at the time (Withers and Withers (1995: 52)).
