POST MEDIEVAL TOY
1600
A slightly worn and bent Post Medieval cast lead-alloy miniature toy plate probably dating to the c. 17th century AD. The plate is circular in plan and has raised cast detail on the upper surface. In the centre of the plate is a 7 petalled flower, within a border formed of hemispheres. Expanding to the exterior edge is a floral border, with a raised rope-twist pattern at the circumference of the plate. This artefact has a dark grey colour, and a possible similar example can be seen in Forsyth and Egan (2005).
