Description: | An incomplete Post Medieval lead alloy toy, dating AD1500-1700. All that remains appears to be that of the lower half of a dress or a skirt. Both sides appear decorated with a cast design, consisting of a series of horizontal lines with diagonal lines forming chevrons either side. There is also a border, formed of a ladder style decoration. There are a series of holes in between some of the border designs. These appear to be more a result of the thinness of the lead at those points, rather than intentional perforation. The narrow, upper end appears to have been broken. The metal has a pale grey colouration, with light brown staining in places. No parallels have been found, but similarly shaped objects have been identified as toys in the form of Tudor women, cf. LIN-AD9DD4. However, due to the incompleteness of the object and the fashion of the dress being not easily identifiable, it ought to be given a wider date range. Dimensions: length: 43.93 mm; width: 34.67 mm; thickness: 4.08 mm; weight: 16.82g.
