Description: | Part of the lead alloy nozzle from the a powder flask dating from the Post Medieval period, about AD 1600 - 1700. The surviving part is a hollow cone of cast lead alloy. The thickness of the wall is about 2 mm. The smaller end is complete, but it is broken at the wider end where it would have extended into a cap similar to a powder measure cap. The break is well patinated. The flask nozzle has a well developed cream patina.For a similar example, see Courtney's 1988 Finds Research Group Datasheet: Small Arm Accessories of the Mid-Seventeeth Century, figure 4.
