The figure is shown standing facing forward with left leg slightly bent backwards and arms held slightly behind the back. No distinct facial features remain and the figure appears to be naked.The level of wear makes a specific attribution impossible but it is possible that the figure represented a deity such as Mars.The metal has a dark greenish-brown patina and is extremely worn. The figurine is 56.9mm long, 21.6mm wide, 10mm thick and weighs 28.3g.Similar examples have been recorded on the PAS database as: BH-10A1D6, KENT-426375, KENT-523193 and ESS-1F24D5.
