Description: | A fragment of a lead-alloy human figurine, consisting of the left hand, the forearm, the elbow and a small section of the upper arm. The hand grasps a cylindrical object (perhaps a scroll?), of which only a fragment remains. It is 48.3mm in length, 23.1mm wide and 14.9mm thick. It weighs 63.88gm. The statue is solid lead alloy which suggests that it is not modern, as modern examples are normally hollow cast. However, Roman examples are normally copper alloy. There are no similar Roman objects of this size and being solid on the database. There is however, a leg from a figurine which is suggested to be a post medieval neo-classical copy (SUSS-3CEA80) dating from the 16th century.
