Description: | A lead or lead-alloy unidentified artefact of probable Post Medieval date, possibly part of a toy. It consists of an oval socket with a flat base but angled (or incomplete) top. The socket is mounted on a rib with an oval cross-section which runs across the centre of the base, across the long axis, and continues in a long curve to a fairly recent break. At the other end of the rib is a scar suggesting that a similar rod extended on the other side, but at a different angle. The lead is of a poor quality alloy and is reminicent of toy horses, soldiers and vehicles etc. A smooth grey patina survives in a few places. The object is 36.6mm long, 9.1mm wide and 9.6mm thick. The socket is 10.1mm long, 9.2mm wide and 7.3mm tall. The rod is 4.2mm wide and 3.5mm thick. The object weighs 4.23g.
