Description: | Post Medieval lead figurine or doll? 45mm high, 30mm wide and 20mm thick. The surviving upper part is in fair condition, although in two pieces and weighs 61 grams (hollow inside is filled with soil). The figurine is that of a lady, her head is detached but she is wearing a multi-layered cap (?)with two ribbons or ties draped over her shoulders. She has a pointed, fringed shawl over her dress which has billowing sleeves and neat cuffs, and her hands are clasped together in front of her. The dress would suggest a date, perhaps, of the late 1600s/1700s, though in the current absence of comparably detailed, fully three-dimensional miniatures from that period, this may be a 19th-century toy in the form of an accurate, historical figure. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Scott, Wendy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
