Description: | A squashed and incomplete cast lead-alloy powder holder cap of 17th-century date. The base is oval in plan, but the sides of the cap have been squashed such that the defined rim has been deformed into a sub-crescentic shape. The rim has a length of 27.5mm, a width of 15.7mm, while the cap is 17.1mm deep. At the base end there is only vestigial evidence of the cap loops which would have been attached to the bandolier (a belt with small loops worn across the chest by soldiers) (Courtney 1988, 2).
