An undated lead alloy figurine, 92mm in length, 34mm wide and 16mm thick with a weight of 168.00grams.
The figure is crudely cast and has few datable features. It consists of a human body, probably naked and with no detail added. It has arms which are bent at the elbow, but the lower parts are now missing. Its feet are very large and are aligned to stand on a curved surface?
