Description
English: A Post Medieval lead alloy toy fire shovel (17th – 18th century). This toy was cast in one piece with a bell-shaped flaring pan. There are two decorative ears or knops on either side of the handle scar. The rim is beaded and the flat base decorated with a rococo style arrangement of rosettes, foliate tendrils and flowering plants.

Dimensions: length: 36.75mm; width: 29.42mm; thickness: 0.98mm; weight: 4.39g.
