A figure of a knight represented in a long belted surcoat and wearing a helmet. In both hands he carries what appears to be a mace, which is held close to his left cheek. Stippling around the neckline is probably intended to represent mail. On the reverse the figure is almost entirely flat, apart from a shallow groove in the centre, which retains the remains of two points of attachment. Scientific analysis has demonstrated that the figure is made of a cheap metal-alloy commonly used in the production of toys which has been coated to resemble oxidised silver. Furthermore, soil has be…

Copper alloy Nelson figurine, probably dating to the Victorian period. The figurine is very worn but has the characteristic coat and hat of Nelson; it has a fairly flat circular base which looks as though it may have been attached to something else. During the Victorian period, themed bottle stoppers, letter-opening knives and magnifying glasses made from pewter became very popular in Britain, when enthusiasts often built up large collections. This example may have been attached to one such household item. The figurine weighs 54.9g and measures 58.4mm in length, 20mm in width and 18.3…
