Description: | A Post Medieval lead alloy openwork panel probably from a piece of toy furniture dating 17th - 18th century. The panel is rectangular flaring out at one end. The decorative openwork is arranged in three lines of ovals side by side with three pellets at the junction between each oval. There is a bar separating each of the rows of ovals which is decorated which a twisted rope motif. In the shortest row the central oval is replaced by a floral motif. There is an angular loop projecting from each of the longer sides, these were probably for the attachment of other elements of this toy. There are two small projecting points from the shorter edges, all are bent over, again these may have been for the articulation of another element. One corner of the panel is broken and missing.Forsyth & Egan (2005:399 - 403) illustrate a range of openwork panels which are similar to this example but there is no exact parallel.Dimensions: length: 27.92 mm; width: 24.51mm; thickness: 1.89mm; weight: 1.45g.Reference: Forsyth, H. and Egan, G. 2005.
