Description: | A post medieval lead alloy toy frying pan probably dating to the 17th century. This is a Forsyth & Egan (2005:120) Type 2 Design 1: a frying pan cast in one piece. It has flat, circular base with straight bevelled sides and the handle pierced at the tip. The handle is broken and missing on this example and there is a small section of the the outer rim missing which is probably where the handle was situated. The pan has moulded beading around the rim and it contains two fish in high relief, placed on their sides, head to tail across the pan. Both of the tails touch the edges of the pan and extend up the sides. The fish are surrounded by an evenly spaced, fine stippling, suggestive of hot bubbling fat or perhaps herbs and berries.This frying pan is similar to no. 2.18 illustrated by Egan & Forsyth (2005:120) to which the authors have suggested a date of 17th century. Similar examples are recorded on the PAS database:LON-9248E1,LON-BAF757,BH-96F552 andLON-A89CF3.Dimensions: thickness: 3.65mm; diameter: 28.32mm; weight: 5.78g.Reference: Forsyth, H. and Egan, G. 2005.
