Description: | A lead-alloy toy dish of post-Medieval date.The shallow dish is circular in plan and has an angled rim, decorated with a relief-moulded leaf-scroll pattern. On the reverse the junction between the flat central area and the rim is marked by a pair of moulded foot ring, consisting of two concentric mouldings. The dish is squashed and slightly corroded. It measures 28.7mm in diameter, 1.2mm thick and weighs 5.3g.Several examples of toy tableware have been found in London and are illustrated and discussed by Egan and Forsyth (2005: 245-274). A close parallel for this piece is dish no. 8.76, on which the leaf pattern is described as '...bay-leaf foliage.' and an 18th century date is suggested (ibid: 267).
