Description: | A lead figurine of uncertain date. The figurine is shaped in the form of a crude elongated human face with a pronounced nose and jutting out upper lip. The eyes are irregularly shaped and bulbous. The reverse is almost flat. No obvious means of attachment is visible. It is possible that the object has a religious association although this is far from certain. The crude nature of the object makes it difficult to date on stylistic grounds, although much Roman and some Iron Age material has been recovered from the near vicinity.It measures 24.39 mm long, 14.43 mm wide, 10.25 mm thick and weighs 14.1 grams. It has a cream to pale brown patina.
