Ours is the Celtic harp, sometimes called the lever harp, as opposed to the pedal harp used in orchestral music.
The traditional version had metal strings and a heavier soundboard, and was played with the fingernails. The modern version was invented by John Egan in Dublin in the 19th century, features gut strings and can be played with the pads of the fingertips. Scottish and Breton variants of the modern Celtic harp also exist.
The harp was the most prestigious instrument in Gaelic aristocratic culture, and harpers were men of high social standing, despite often being poor. It was said that to learn the harp properly, one had to devote their lives to it and if you hadn't started learning by 7 yrs old it was too late. For this reason Harpers were often blind, as it was the most respectable profession for a nobleman's blind son.
The harp has long been a symbol of Irish culture. Cromwell's agents in Ireland were ordered to destroy harps as they were a symbol of resistance and to this day the harp is the national symbol of Ireland, appearing on our money and the coat of arms of our country.
The most famous harpist is Toirdhealbhach Ó Cearbhalláin, often regarded as our national composer. He composed some of the most famous tunes in the Irish tradition as well as a great many tributes to Gaelic and Anglo noble families, which are some of the best examples of Gaelic aristocratic court music. His tunes are often used in official or religious settings in Ireland today, as well as in popular culture

Edgy adornments aside, your box zither is ultimately derived from the lyre which goes all the way back to Mesopotamia. Guitars, while also derived from the Lyre, evolved from a different line through the lute.
