Title
A post medieval ceramic toy cockerel
Description
English: A post medieval ceramic toy cockerel made from pipe clay, probably dating 17th - 18th century. This has been made in a two part mould so it forms a three-dimensional model of a chicken. There is a solid cylinder of clay between the two legs to help the model stand. The tip of the beak and end of the body and tail are broken and missing. There is some evidence of red pigment surviving on the wattle beneath the beak.

A similar object is recorded on the Portable Antiquities Scheme: NARC-704320, although that example is flat and perforated but it contains the note from Geoff Egan which is pertinent to this object: "one of a very varied series of figurines (mostly of humans and some of animals) and models of objects (fire bellows, even an early steam-train engine). The last is an indicator of how long they went on, with the series in this country starting off with saints in the late C15th"..."It could have been painted. Certainly folk art - was it something like a fairing?...I suspect late C17th/C18th is most probable (as a date)".

Dimensions: length: 58.96mm; width: 26.11mm; thickness: 13.84mm; weight: 10.52g.
