Description: | A cast lead alloy cap from a Post Medieval powder measure dating from between AD 1600 - 1700. The object has been very squashed and distorted, to the point that it is almost folded in half. However one can see that the cap had a roughly circular opening with a straight wall and flat base. Two small loop handles (one is broken off and mostly missing) project from the sides of the base and have been bent back to touch the wall of the cap. There is one hole and a short split in the wall. The cap has a creamy white patina. For a similar example see SWYOR-8067D6.
