Description: | Lead Offcut. Fragment of a thick round section cast rod with a rough external texture, cut at both ends to form a drum-shaped cylinder with angled ends. Not patinated. Though resembling slugs for use as a supplementary load in a muzzle loading firearm, the shape is eccentric, the surface texture is unusual, resembling that of miniaturised tree bark, and its good condition suggests this object is more recent. Suggested date: Modern, 1900-2000.Length: 11.4mm, Diameter: 13.7mm, Weight: 13.90gms.
