A crushed pewter cup or chalice of post medieval date, possibly a toy. The vessel would have been around 36mm in height with a rim diameter of possibly around 25mm. The cup has a hexagonal pedestal base, now folded flat, and a fluted hexagonal body which flares up from the narrow base to a rim, which has fine moulded decoration around the rim comprising swags or foliate sprays over a chain of pellets or small annulets.  This object is broadly similar in scale to early post medieval lead alloy toy cups in Forsyth and Egan (2005: p294), but the form is stylistically more akin …

An incomplete post Medieval (18th century) cast lead alloy "shycock" target in the form of a bird depicted facing right with wings folded, details of feathers, a small pellet eye and a slashed line mouth. The legs and tail are incomplete; originally it would have stood on an integrally cast base. The model is only detailed on the front side, suggesting it was intended to be viewed from this side only. For comparable examples see Forsyth & Egan (2005), p240 and on the database (e.g. WMID-7DB0AE, DENO-74C933 and BERK-8DD525).
