Rose Mooney&#39;s harp, also known as Carolan&#39;s Harp. Since the 19th Century this harp has been claimed to be that of the famous harper Turlough O&#39;Carolan (1670 - 1738). Ann Heymann has argued that this instrument was in fact played by Rose Mooney (1740 - c.1798). It is badly damaged and crudely repaired at the base. Ireland, late 17th century.
