Description: | A cast lead Shy cock toy, probably 18th century date. The object has been cast in one piece and is crudely made. The toy has been made from a flat piece of lead, in the shape of the bird - the 'cock'. The head and body of the bird remain intact but its tail and legs are all broken. The legs only survive as two small stumps under the bird. No other details are really evident. The base is missing.These objects were used as a child's toy. The idea was that they had to throw stones at the birds until they fell over. Similar toys can be seen in H. Forsyth and G. Egan; 2004; p. 240.
