Description: | A Post-Medieval lead alloy musket ball dating from about 1600-1900. The object has been clearly miscast as can be seen by the mismatched/misaligned halves of the ball. Attached to this discarded musket ball is cooled metal in the shape of the mould's channel where the hot liquid would have been poured in. The material is somewhat rough and has a silver colour; only a fragment of the original creamy brown patina exists along the casting seam.Length: 27.1mm; Width: 15.5mm; Thickness: 7.8mm; Weight: 7.55g
