Found on pasture, North Wales.
Very brittle, might be pewter?
I can see a wing, legs and a head?
Any ideas?

Most probably. I'm new to the hobby still lots to learn. I've been through 100's and 100's of finds on finds.org with no luck.

It doesn't have the look of "Roman" and my feeling is more 18th-19th C but that's without seeing it in the flesh, however there is a chance that it's meant to be a winged lion which is the symbol of St Mark so could be related to medieval pilgrims Huh
