A lead alloy figurine of Post-medieval to Modern date (AD 1700-1850). The object is in the form of a human figure facing forward with right arm raised. The figure is clothed with drapery left and flared pantaloons and cap sleeves. The base has been fractured and is now separated from the main form of the figure. The base is rectangular and concave with three stepped facets on the front face.
The form of the object suggests a classically styled figure of Modern date and most probably depicts St. Christopher.
The metal is dark cream in colour with a slightly pitted patina.
