A post medieval lead alloy toy dripping pan dating between AD1630-1650. The pan is rectangular with fragments of an integrally cast handle on one of the longest sides. The pan has bevelled edges and a semi-circular pouring lip at one end. The rim is decorated in a cable design. There is a central rosette with radiating lines, each ending in a cluster of pellets to form a flower. The central motif is surrounded by a circle of rings. Each corner would have had a ring and dot motif with radiating lines terminating in pellet clusters but this example is quite worn meaning only one of the corner rings is visible near the lip. An exact parallel can be found in Forsyth and Egan (2005, no. 2.13), this example dating to the early-mid 17th century.
Similar examples can be found on the PAS database but none match the decoration: NARC-EEEFB2 and LON-557FA6
Dimensions: length: 37.19 mm; width: 26.75 mm; thickness: 1.76 mm; weight: 6.83g.
