Description: | A squashed cast lead-alloy powder holder cap of 17th-century date. The base was once oval in plan (now up to c. 18mm long), and includes the (now distorted) 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; a casting seam is also visible. The open end and sides have been squashed together from the two main sides. The artefact has corroded to an off-white colour, with some underlying grey visible; there are some superficial marks and blemishes.
