Description: | A squashed cast lead-alloy powder holder cap of 17th-century date. The base is oval in plan (20.9 by 20.45mm), and includes the (now bent) cap loops which would have been attached to the bandolier (a belt with small loops worn across the chest by soldiers) (Courtney 1988, 2). There is a moulded rim at the other end. The open end has been squashed together from three directions. The artefact has corroded to an off-white colour, with some underlying grey visible; there are some superficial marks and blemishes.
