Description of the Drawing
Translated by AI: The harp is shown from the left-hand side. The braille drawing resembles a concert harp. The harp head is at the top left of the drawing. Below it runs the column, which ends in the base. To the right of the head begins the neck, which may be more or less curved. It merges into the body, which slopes downwards; this is the harp’s soundbox, which is also connected to the base. Two pedals protrude from the right-hand side of the base (a concert harp usually has seven pedals, arranged side by side). The strings are stretched from the neck to the body. For reasons of space – and to make the harp easier to feel – only seven strings are shown in this braille drawing (a concert harp usually has 47 strings).
This braille drawing was originally created for the non-profit organisation einfach machbar e. V. during the project “Blind Children Draw Pictures – Drawing with Letters” financed by the charity Aktion Mensch.
