Lead figure of a winged goddess, possibly Artemis Orthia
A small cast lead figure shows a female deity in a long, vertically pleated gown that widens toward a flared base. Her arms are raised and extended outward into wing-like forms, and her head is capped by a high, flaring headdress. The piece is set against a plain grey ground, which isolates its silhouette.
Look closer: A small loop or tang projects from the base of the gown, the attachment point for the figure.
