Description: | A cast lead alloy zoomorphic figurine or toy of uncertain date. The object is in the form of a quadruped animal. The head of the animal is missing along with the lower legs and tail. The animal has a long neck measuring 6.85mm in length and 4.49mm in width. A single stump is present forming the top of the front legs while two projections represent the start of the rear legs. The rump is rounded with a small scar at the top indicating a tail might have been present. Through the centre of the object is a small circular sectioned length of wire with a diameter of 0.89mm. The wire appears to be of iron and the lead surrounding it is raised. The object has a dusty light white patina.
