Description: | A flat, lead alloy toy figure of a lady dating from AD 1550 - 1700. Only the bodice, arms and upper part of the skirt survive. The arms are integrally cast with the skirt and the shoulders, but there is a space between the arms and the body. The bodice and skirt are decorated with moulded lines, and there are two pellets representing breasts. The reverse is also decorated with similar moulded lines of cross hatching on the skirt and vertical lines on the bodice. The breaks are patinated. The toy is 30.5mm long, 19.6mm wide and 3.8mm thick. 8.05g. This type of toy is early post medieval; parallels are known from the late 16th and 17th centuries (Egan 1988, Datasheet 10). Compare LVPL-348E9C, SWYOR-8936D1 and SWYOR-676546.
