Diatonic harp
Early diatonic harp made with a wooden body, column and neck, with accommodation for 36 strings (all missing) that would be attached to roughly square-shaped tuning pins at the neck frame. The body back is made of seven ribs (severely damaged), and the soundtable appears to have been made of several sections.
