Description: | A Post Medieval lead alloy seat from a chair (probably 1680-1760). The seat is trapezoidal but both lower corners and part of the rear edge are missing. The front surface has moulded decoration possibly depicting a cushion. The decoration comprises a diaper pattern with crosses at the intersections and annulets within each diamond-shape. The outer corners are curved.
The shape of the seat is similar to nos. 6.35 (but has different openwork decoration) and 6.40 (also depicts a cushion but different pattern) (Forsyth & Egan 2005:216-217).
Dimensions: length: 30.30mm; width: 19.94mm; thickness: 1.39mm; weight: 2.07g.
