Description: | Cast hollow lead artefact, with one closed end through which a pointed piece of iron protrudes. The object has several small protuberances along the casting seams that have been moulded, presumably to resemble features of a full-size object. This artefact must surely be a miniature version of a full size piece, and as such is probably part of a toy. The lead is thin- around 1.1mm thick. The surface is rough, with a dirty light-grey colour. This artefact probably dates to the Post-Medieval period, when such lead miniatures were made. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | ANDREWS, Dominic - Illustrator | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
