Lead figure of a winged goddess, possibly Artemis Orthia

A dark grey lead figurine of a winged female figure, wings spread high and a tapering, column-like body incised with vertical lines. The lower body is broken and rough at the edges, and the surface is worn. Shown against a plain pale background.

Look closer: A small bird-like head is visible between the raised wings at the top center.
