Description: | Cast tin/lead-alloy statuette of a draped female, very probably dating from the late post-medieval or early modern period. The figurine/statuette was hollow-cast and almost complete. It displays a draped dancing female with arms and feet missing. The surface looks quite worn and abraded, but there is hardly any patination which underlines the more recent date of the figurine. The dancer wears a long, sleeveless dress and her hair is tied up into a knot at the nape of her neck and the top of her forehead which is a very un-Roman hairstyle (Sally Worrell, pers. comm.).
