Title
Post Medieval lead alloy incomplete toy boat
Description
English: A Post Medieval lead alloy fragment of a toy (17th - 18th century). The fragment may be from a boat, the neck of a horse or the skirt of a female figurine. The fragment is roughly triangular with two of the edges appearing to be complete. Along one edge are two parallel raised lines forming a border with wavy lines between - possibly depicting water or the fabric pattern. Above the 'water' there are a number of raised lines forming a pattern which may depict rigging or details on the skirt. There are three holes in the lead which were probably a by-product of the casting process. The reverse is plain.

Forsyth and Egan (2005:151, 157, 323) illustrate examples of masted ships that have a similar pattern showing the water but the body of the ships have far more detail including cannons which this example does not have.

Dimensions: length: 24.81mm; width: 26.66mm; thickness: 1.67mm; weight: 3.59g.
