Description: | A bent and incomplete copper-alloy artefact which represents part of the trigger guard attachment from a post-medieval musket.The object has been broken off at the point where it would have attached to the curved section of the trigger guard. At this end the piece has vertical sides, which give way to a pair of moulded horizontal bands of differing widths. The piece tapers into an acorn-shaped terminal with a point at the bottom. On the reverse of the acorn-shaped terminal is a circular indentation. There are also further irregular holes at this point, but these are probably the result of air having become trapped during the casting process. Overall the piece measures 51.9mm long by 17.6mm wide and 4.3mm thick. It weighs 12.04g.
