Description: | A fragment of a post-medieval (c.1600-1800) lead probable male toy figure, flat and decorated on both sides. It is likely the fragment represents the waist, hips and top part of the legs, perhaps wearing breeches.There is an old break at the waist (7.72mm wide) and below this the object curves outwards following the line of the legs to max.19.53mm wide just before the break across each leg (each 5-6mm wide). To one side the 'legs' are undecorated beneath a fringe of vertical moulded ribs. To the other side the fringe has less ribs but each leg is decorated with numerous moulded inverted 'V' shapes and a vertical rib running through them at the centre.The object measures 18.50mm in length, 3.14mm in max. thickness and weighs 4.11g.The figure appears to fit with Egan & Forsyth's Type 4 (flat, with mouldings on both sides) and given similarity to the style of other flat male figures of Type 3 and Type 4, a 17th to 18th century (and possibly beyond) date is suggested.
