Description: | One half of a Post-medieval cast copper-alloy musket ball mould. This mould is shield-shaped and domed in section. It has three rivet holes (with rivets), one in each of the three corners of the shield, which would have fixed the two halves of the mould together. The central area is formed by a large half spherical depression which would have formed one half of the musket ball mould, and at the top of the depression (at the top of the shield) is a channel for pouring the moulted lead into the mould. No original surface has survived, and the worn and exposed areas are either light green or show a brown corrosion. It measures 22.18mm long, 18.42mm wide, is 12.56mm thick and weighs 12.75g.
