Description: | Cast lead object, possibly a post-medieval toy. Mass: 10.0g, width: 41.0mm, length: 26.6mm, thickness: 4.1mm. The object is in the form of a four legged animal, although the head and much of the neck are missing, and the legs and tail are incomplete. None of the breaks appear to be recent. The front of the object is slightly raised , and decorated with ridges. The reverse is undecorated and flat. The object has a grey pitted surface with brown adhesions. The object is possibly a post-medieval toy such as a shy (see Forsyth and Egan, "Toys, Trifles & Trinkets", 2005, p.239-241). The authors comment that: "Although it is possible that these toys were produced in the late medieval and early modern period, the surviving examples seem to date from the 18th century."
