Wmid-476d26 Post Medieval Figurine

3D Model

An incomplete lead or lead alloy figurine of probable Post Medieval dating (AD 1600 to AD 1700).

Less than 5% of the figurine is present, consisting only of the left foot. It has broken at the ankle. The foot is depicted as wearing a pointed shoe or slipper, with low sides and back and a curled upwards toe. Ridges are present in the depiction suggesting folds of fabric. The pointed style of the shoe is consistent with some of the fashions during the seventeenth and later centuries, so it is reasonable to assume that this figurine fragment is of a similar date.
