Description: | An incomplete cast lead figurine of possibly Roman date but probably dating to the post-medieval period. The figurine is of a draped, dancing figure of indeterminate sex with only the head, torso and upper part of the limbs surviving. The right arm and left leg of the figure are raised in dance and the right leg and left arm are orientated backward. The facial features, hair and clothing details are all lost due to extreme wear and there are two knops projecting from the shoulder blades suggesting the presence of wings.The metal has a mid greyish-brown patina and is worn. The figurine is 75.1mm long, 32.6mm wide, 14.2mm thick and weighs 84g.A similar example can be seen on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database: Unique ID: BERK-1B2666.
