As it is white that may be simple lead carbonate. It may have been in a humid environment and exposed to air?
If it is as it looks only superficial corrosion perhaps you can shield it from the air, monitor it and avoid anything aggressive unless it advances? Keep it away from wood.
Reduction is an option but I never tried it. I avoid anything lead and tin because their corrosion is so troublesome. Try to get advice from museum staff.
