Description: | A cast lead or lead alloy figurine; bust. The head appears to be bald with a central crest at the crown, possibly suggesting it was a helmet. The ears stick out slightly, but are ill defined. The facial features are simplistic with low-relief eyes, sub-rectangular nose and a horizontal linear mouth. The head seems slightly small in proprtion to the body. The chest is slightly undulating, suggesting the bust is female, however, the overall impression of the bust is that it is male. The lower edges of the bust are rounded with a slight lip. On the reverse the head and neck are vertical with no definition. The torso is angled inwards at c. 45° towards the front lower edge. The surface of the figurine has a matt mid grey coloured patina. It measures 43.43mm long, 34.54mm wide, 15.42mm thick and weighs 56.6g.
