Hardy, I think it's too thick for a jews harp, plus it is iron. It looks like the ends were once peened to secure it.

I would guess its a removable keeper of some sort.
The ends of the legs appear to have slight flair and
maybe a slight spring action when pushed through
a hole and click into place.
A good cleaning should show if its iron or steel,
which would help date it.

1. He read it off the piece...
2. The one one top is thick as you put it.
If you would like me to try and find a better match I will.
