Lead figure of a woman

A small lead figurine of a standing woman seen in profile, facing right, with a long garment falling to her feet and one arm bent at her side. The corroded grey metal has a worn, pitted surface and a pale patina, shown against a plain light background.

Look closer: Faint pale patches of patina on the surface across the chest and garment.
