Description: | A Post Medieval lead alloy fragment probably from a piece of toy furniture, probably dating 17th - 18th century. The fragment includes an incomplete triangular panel with a strut projecting from each of the lower corners of the panel. The entire front surface of the object is decorated with moulded patterns. The upper point of the triangular panel is missing as is the tip of the left strut. The decoration on the triangular panel is divided into two zones along the midline. The right hand zone is decorated with rows of rosettes. The left had zone is decorated with a diaper pattern with a rosette at each cross-section against a cross-hatched background. There is a border around the edge of the triangular panel, again with moulded decoration. On the left hand side the it has a pattern of transverse lines with an outer edge of moulded scallops. On the right hand side there is the letter 'H' and again the outer edge of moulded scallops. There is a small amount of openwork decoration at the junction between the struts and the triangular panel and the struts themselves are decorated with a foliage extending down the length of the struts. There is no parallel in Forsyth & Egan (2005) but there are panels which are semi-circular forming elements of chests, the form is also similar in style to the other furniture elements which are illustrated.Dimensions: length: 44.66mm; width: 44.68mm; thickness: 1.07mm; weight: 3.32g.Reference: Forsyth, H. and Egan, G. 2005.
