Description: | Small lead cast Tudor figurine. The object is in the form of a human, probably a male, although only the upper half of the body is depicted. The object is flat and undecorated on the reverse, however the obverse is moulded and decorated. The face has a very worn face with two crescentric eyebrows that join in the middle. The eyes are depicted as two dots. The mouth is a single straight line, and combined with the shape of the eyebrows the person looks as if he is frowining or stern. The body panel is roughly triangular and has two smaller recessed triangular cells to either side of a central moulding. This may be depicting the persons arms with his hands resting on his hips, or perhaps flared skirt/trousers typical of the Tudor period. The object terminates with a plain moulded circular panel, undecorated and perhaps originally sitting in a wooden block or other similar mount. The person may be dancing, hence the hands on hips. A virtually identical example was discovered approximately 1.4km away and is recorded as LIN-24A0B3 & LIN-0BDE76. The objects might be Post-Medieval toys made in a local workshop.
