Description: | A fragment of a moulded lead alloy religious figurine depicting Christ during the Crucifiction. Only the head of the figurine remains; the head is tilted slightly onto Christ's right shoulder, the facial features are worn but clear and a ring of dots across the upper forehead may be the remains of moulded projections depicting the Crown of Thorns. The reverse of the figure is roughly finished and it may be that this figurine was mounted onto another object, such as a wooden mount or cross. Similar figurines of Christ are recorded on this database although usually they are made from copper alloy. This figurine dates to the Medieval period, c. 1200 - 1500 AD.
