Lead figure of a winged goddess, possibly Artemis Orthia
A small corroded lead figure shows a winged female figure with a helmeted or crested head and wings spread wide on either side. Below the body, a long rectangular base is decorated with a lattice of diagonal lines and dots, suggesting a stand or a pin-like support.
Look closer: The lattice pattern on the lower base is incised with small dots at its intersections.
