FIGURINE 1051443

Description: A cast lead alloy figurine, 40.7mm high and 35.6mm long, depicting a woman, reclining, a holding a small child which is standing to her right. The woman has a distinctive moulded hairstyle gathered transversely across the top of her head and at the nape of the neck. She wears a loose draped garment with folds detailed down her back and around her legs. The child appears to be naked. The features of the figurine are heavily worn and difficult to resolve in more detail. The base of the object is teardrop shaped (tapering to the woman's feet) and flat, although too uneven to allow the object to stand freely. There is a central casting seam and possibly a break from some sort of attachment or fitting along the centre. This figurine is likley to be of Roman date and a depiction of Venus and Cupid.
