Description: | An incomplete and flattened cast lead alloy possible toy dating from the Post-Medieval to the Modern period. The object is semi-circular in plan and before it was flattened together would have been hollow. The open end terminates with an irregular break which appear to be recent. At the rounded end are two incomplete circular projections which may be casting sprus or part of the object. Each face is decorated with moulded ring-and-dot motifs, two of which are visible on one face. Also decorating that face is a 'flower' motif created with a central pellet surrounded by a circle of pellets. The object has a mid-brown patina and is in poor condition.The decoration and form of the object is similar to that found on Post-Medieval to Modern toys such as can be found in Egan and Forsyth, (2005). A possible function maybe that of a whistle similar to Paites, B (2013) LON-61D493 A POST MEDIEVAL WHISTLE Webpage available at: http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/588761.
