A Post Medieval lead alloy fragment of a toy probably dating 16th - 17th century. The fragment includes part of an openwork frame which may be an element from a piece of furniture. The frame has one curved end and two arms which flare out. The ends of the arms appear to be complete. There is a small loop projecting from the external edge of the curved end and two small projections from the internal edges of each of the arms. This may be the remains of a bar which connected the two arms. The frame is decorated on both surfaces with moulded triangular patterns. There is a break across the loop and also one of the arms is broken but present.<\/p>
