Is the Iron Nail square (ish) shape & does it have a missing top?

The lead looks like a pot mend with a incised/added head decoration

BIG IRON NAIL IS FLAT AND SQUARE..TOP IS NOT MISSING JUST ORIGINALLY BENT ON ONE SIDE TO MAKE A SIMPLE TOP..

YES HUMAN HEAD ON LEAD LOOKS ADDED, NOT LIKE HORSE HEAD!

No, you misunderstood. The human head is added. The reverse is just natural fill when making a pot mend.

Lead pushed into a hole in a clay pot to fill it & make it useable.
