Description: | An incomplete, cast lead alloy (pewter) toy of Post-Medieval date, about AD 1500 - 1700. It is in the form of a shallow standing bowl (or possibly a flared foot from a larger object). There is a central, circular foot, concave on the underside, a reel shaped stem which flares upwards to the base of a wide, shallow bowl which is incomplete. The base of the bowl section is flat and there is a distinct demarcation line between base and sidewall of the bowl. Above the base the shallow sidewall curves upwards and is then flat before finishing in a narrow rim. There is no decoration, but faint traces of a casting seam can be seen on both sides of the foot. The remaining portion of the toy is 15.9mm high, the bowl section is 25.2mm long and 23.9mm wide. The circular foot is 14.3mm in diameter. It weighs 6.27gm.Similar artefacts are recorded on the database: compare for example records BERK-5B2312, BERK-CA57E7 and LON-626D21. These last two records both cite Egan and Forsyth, 2005, as reference.
