Description: | An incomplete cast lead-alloy powder holder cap of seventeenth-century date. Length 18.0mm; width at rim 23.1mm; maximum thickness of 1.2mm. Weight 10.7g.
The sides of the cap have been squashed and the rim has been deformed into a sub-lozengiform shape. Abrasions have casued removals from the rim. At the sub-oval 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).
