Broad period: ROMAN

Roman (probably) lead figurine, perhaps of Priapus, now heavily worn with only the broadest details visible. The figure is flat backed and appears to be on an integral plate which extends beyond the it sides. The head is rounded and smooth, the legs are shown, the right one perhaps slightly advancing. It is difficult to see details of the arms but they appear folded. Length 38.5, Width 12.4mm, Thickness 7.0mm, Mass 20.51g. Figures like this are difficult to date but this object resembles a series of flat backed figures of Priapus (LEIC-C96B33; SWYOR-A153A2; LVPL-D9A6B5 and WAW-B5A6B8)…

Workflow stage: Published
Roman lead figurine of Priapus, this is carefully modelled in three dimensions which is unusual for a lead Priapus as other examples, (LEIC-C96B33; SWYOR-A153A2; LVPL-D9A6B5 and WAW-B5A6B8) have flat backs.On this example the back, buttocks and thighs are accurately shown. Little of the face survives and the phallus is truncated, this may be due to use: a copper alloy priapic figure is known on which these features are worn, probably by touching as a safeguard against the evil eye. The arms are folded across the upper abdomen and do not reach down to the phallus as on other examples. …

Object type: SPINDLE WHORL
Broad period: ROMAN
County: York
Workflow stage: Published
Cast lead spindle whorl, plain disc, one face having a more rounded edge than the other. Central hole 9.8mm diameter. This object is difficult to date, its simple form being in use over a long period of time. Parallels can be found from Roman and Anglo-Saxon contexts and it is possible that the type continued in use into the Medieval period alongside the biconcal form. The site from which this example came has produced finds of both Roman and Medieval date.
