Description: | Lead figurine. Solid cast plano-convex representation of two adjacent cats' heads, one larger than the other, at either end of a short curved neck which they share. The eyes and eyebrows are modelled rather more as human than feline features though muzzles, cheeks and ears are conventionally feline. Lightly patinated overall. This piece is probably a casual sport made by a labourer working with lead: the execution falls far short of what might be expected from a more earnest craft worker or hobbyist. Suggested date: Post-Medieval to Modern, 1850-1950.Height: 67.3mm, Width: 67.5mm, Thickness: 18.3mm, Weight: 325gms.
