Title
Post Medieval toy carriage
Description
English: A Post Medieval lead alloy toy item of transport (1640s). This is an open carriage or similar with a flat rectangular base and openwork sides. Underneath are the remains of four loops all broken except one which has the remains of a bar. Possible these were for the attachment of wheels. The bed of the carriage is decorated with a moulded lattice work pattern with a pellet at each junction of the lattice work. The sides are decorated with a row of pellets within a linear border. This object has the gilded appearance consistent with tin sulphides 'nature's gilding'.

Hazel Forsyth notes that the latticework decoration is very similar to toys within the Museum of London's collections that date to the 1640s.

Dimensions: length: 24.29mm; width: 13.92mm; thickness: 8.10mm; weight: 4.41g.
