Description: | An incomplete post-Medieval lead alloy toy soldier in the form of a horse and rider (c. 1800-c. 1920).Part of the head, the tail, most of the rear legs of the horse and the upper part of the weapon are missing due to breaks.There is a similar raised design on both faces. The front is convex and the rear is flat.The horse faces right and appears to be galloping. Some of the detail is unclear. However, the rider is seated on a bordered horse cloth with fleece shabraque, holding the reins in his left hand and carrying a weapon, possibly a lance, in his right hand. The rider may be wearing thigh boots. It is possible that the rider could be a knight in armour or a dragoon guard.This toy is grey with buff corrosion deposits.Height: 50.0mm; width: 40.1mm; thickness: 3.6mm. Weight: 23.27g.
