LEAD VOTIVFINDS - MATRICA The finding consists of two different parts. Flat, two-dimensional figures of goddess in stylized architectural frames belongto one of the groups. Almost all of them broke to pieces, deformed or incomplete. Miniature imitations with short handles like the embossed bronze mirrors are parts of the other group. There are figurai and geometrical motives on each side of the pieces. Almost all of the objects are castings embossed on both sides. The objects are most often the sporadic finds of settlements and camps. Only a few pieces are of graves or shrines such as the rare finde from the Mercurius sanctuary of Savaria. Examining the objects it becomes clear that beside the broken and deformed pieces there are also unrelated fragments in the find.There are semi-finished and damaged products or ones casted in the same mould among the complete or rejoinable finds. Probably the broken votive pieces were originally damaged during the production. So it is most likely that this finding is the loss or a lead-workshop similary to the Gyulafirátót-Pogánytelek (county Veszprém) finds. The site is near the ancient fortress of Sánchegy, about 4 km far to the north from te military camp of Matrica (Százhalombatta) and its vicus. The lead finds came to the surface in search of metal near the dwellings or the former brick-factory (téglagyár) at Százhalombatta in July 1984. O.S. 233.
