Votive Figurine of a Deer
mid 6th-early 5th century BCE
Description
Flat lead figurine of a deer with legs bent out of shape; the antlers present on other examples appear to have broken off. The plain back of the figurine suggests that it was cast in a one-sided mold; surplus lead seeped out during the casting process and still lines the animal's contours.
