Description: | Pewter or lead figurine, probably late medieval in date. It is flat on the back and does not stand up but has no method of attachment visible.Standing robed figure with their right arm folded on the breast holding, possibly a crozier. The left arm appears to be holding onto the robe. It is not clear whether this is male or female. The head is worn but there is something on the top of the head, possibly a crown, which may suggest it is male. Geoff Egan has seen a picture of this figurine and says 'it is probably a component of some complicated scene or a figure among several on eg an altar. As it is made from lead it may be trial piece in the sense of seeing if a mould intended for a different metal was able to produce good quality images.'
