    20231129_183838.jpg 20231129_183818.jpg Picked this figure up recently as it peaked my curiosity. French maybe very heavy think it's black painted lead and it's 14 cms in height any help identifying appreciated as usual thanks.

    I’ve never felt spelter this heavy but it’s great to find out what something is all the best.

    It could be lead if it's very heavy.

    Spelter has lead content. The spelter figures I've seen have been open on the bottom and hollow, not very heavy.
