Hi all,
Last year my wife and myself were fortunate to visit the 12th century Shobak
Crusader Fortress in Jordan. The only non-tourist that we saw for many miles was an older Bedouin
selling some curiosities on a plank table at the fortress. The items offered ranged from an ancient
arrowhead to a 100 year old army buckle.
My wife was pleased to obtain this small (46mm high) figurine. It appears to be made of lead and is obviosly quite old. Our only thought re the figure is that it could be a Pilgrim memento or holy figure.
We would appreciate any information that anyone can give us re the item.
All the best,
Col
