Lead Donkey, with four legs
« on: June 02, 2008, 11:52:49 AM »
I wonder if this is part of a large nativity set? It falls over too easily for a door stop.

It's odd that it's made out of lead though. Home made?

Wouldn't have said so. Lead was easy to cast, wasn't considered hazardous and was probably relatively cheap when this was made

It wasn't a very good one as it would fall over when touched unless you have to pick this one up? It's only four and a half inches wide and four inches tall. Maybe the holes are for hanging it on a wall? Bit like the flying duck only with a donkey!
