Description: | Incomplete face and neck from a Post Medieval flat lead alloy toy figure. The fragment has a flat back while the front is slightly convex with projecting eyes, triangular nose, neck and three beads of a necklace on the neck. It is probably part of a larger flat doll such as SUR-2DC8B1. The heads of such dolls appear to be particularly vulnrable and several are recorded on the database e.g. NCL-7F31B4, SF-992C37, NCL-1D7118. It is 22.6mm long, 16.5mm wide, 4.1mm thick and weighs 3.71 grams.The toy is probably late 16th to 18th century in date. Geoff Egan has suggested that these flat lead tin alloy dolls may have been a slightly cheaper version of the three dimensional toys published in Egan and Forsyth 'Toys, Trinkets and Trifles' (1996).
