Description: | A crude cast lead male figurine of uncertain but possibly Roman date. The figure is flat, single-sided, and 65.5mm long and is very corroded with large raised pimples over much of the area. He stands fully facing but with few details. The head is round and has a long flat nose which forms a ridge. There are no clear indications of eyes. The body is plain save for a representation of a single nippe and no arms are indicated. The legs are rudimentary with one longer than the other and the genitals are prominentlyshown as a projecting but shapeless lump.Thsi figure is likely to be of Roman or of much more ecent date. The amount of corrosion is sugestive of an earlier date but parallels in lead tend to be more three-dimensionally rendered.
