Description: | A cast lead post-medieval toy fragment.
The fragment is part of the skirt from a flat lead lady, showing the decoration on both sides. One side is decorated with a raised grid pattern. The other side has four raised lines, two on either side, which are parallel and contain a zig-zag design. The remains of four copper-alloy attachment rivets suggesting that this example had been attached to a base enabling it to stand up, the four rivets have lead caps. The fragment measures 39mm x 22mm x 2.6mm. The lead is pitted and a dark brownish-grey colour.
A similar toy can be seen in Forsyth and Egan, ??Toys, Trifles and Trinkets??. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
