An assemblage of lead fragments, discovered during recent excavations in the courtyard of a domestic structure (Building 86) near the southern reservoir at Shivta, appears to consist of several ornamental fragments. The largest and most recognizable fragment is decorated with an eagle with prostrated wings. A second smaller fragment is identifiable as part of a cross. In this paper a reconstruction of the original design of the object/objects is proposed along with the suggestion that they were either dress accessories, or lead models used to make such accessories. It is further suggested that a metal workshop could have operated in Byzantine Shivta, perhaps serving local Byzantine army troops ( limitanei ).
