Description: | A Post Medieval lead alloy incomplete toy dripping pan dating early to mid 17th century. The handle and one corner of this dripping pan is missing. This dripping pan has a rectangular pan with an integrally cast handle, bevelled sides, flat base and pouring lip at one end. The lower end of the handle and the scrolled brackets supporting the handle survive. There are some concretions obscuring the detail on the handle but it appears to be decorated and the scrolling brackets are decorated with a twisted rope pattern. The rim has a beaded edge and the flat base is decorated with two concentric pelleted rings, in the centre of which is a sexfoil rose. A calyx extends between each of the petals. There is a ring and dot motif in each corner of the pan with a raised line forming a border between the ring and dots.Forsyth & Egan (2005: 116) write "The designs [on the published examples] suggest a production date from the early to mid 17th century, which corresponds with the 1630 - 1650 contact of the only toy dripping pan recovered from excavations in this country."Dimensions: length: 37.79 mm; width: 39.37mm; thickness: 2.89mm;weight: 7.34g.Forsyth, H. and Egan, G. 2005.
