An incomplete lead-alloy figurine of medieval to Post-Medieval date, c.AD 1200 - 1900. Only the lower portion of the figurine remains, from the waist down. The figure is robed, depicted in a naturalistic style, with feet projecting from beneath the hem. The feet are apart, both turned outward, the right more so. A moulded ovate pouch is depicted on the left hip. A second, larger punch on longer rope is also present to the right hip. The figurine is hollow.
The metal has a light brown/grey patina and is worn. The figurine is 50.3mm long, 25.9mm wide, 18.1mm thick and weighs 42.9g.
It is not possible to determine who this figurine represents though it is likely to be religious in nature, possibly a saint.
