MEDIEVAL MINIATURE OBJECT
View through Europeana Collections
Very small cast cu-alloy bowl, possibly a toy, dating from the medieval or post-medieval period. The object is a very simple rimmed bowl, the rim being set at an almost right angle to the bottom of the bowl. It is crudely made and looks like it was made from a high tin/lead cu-alloy. The surface shows much corrosion, but the size and thickness of the metal resembles the more commonly found cast cu-alloy three-legged toy cauldrons which suggests that this may have also been a toy.
