The remarkable properties of CS 30322--023 became apparent in the course of a study of a sample of 23 carbon-enhanced, metal-poor (CEMP) stars. Its abundance pattern is one of the most well-specified of all known extremely metal-poor stars. With [Fe/H] = -3.5, this is the most metal-poor star to exhibit a clear s-process signature, and the most metal-poor ``lead star'' known. The available evidence indicates that it is presently a thermally-pulsing asymptotic giant branch (TP--AGB) star, with no strong indication of binarity thus far.
