Lead figure of a warrior with a spear and shield
A small flat lead figure of a helmeted warrior stands with legs apart, one arm extended and a round shield held before the body. The shield bears a swirling spiral pattern, and the metal is worn and gray with age.
Look closer: A small crest or helmet knob rises from the top of the head.
