Description: | A lead equestrian figurine of probable post-medieval date. The toy is badly broken and only the body and rear legs remain. The figurine is of a mounted figure on a galloping horse, possibly a knight but also possibly a dragoon or later cavalry unit. Unfortunately the toy is not complete enough to discern this. With such toys the method of manufacture can indicate a date, with the earliest medieval examples hollow cast and later, early post-medieval versions folded (Forsyth and Egan 2005, 144). This example has been made in neither of these traditions and is solid cast, perhaps suggestive of a later post-medieval to modern date.
