Description: | A lead alloy musket ball of post-Medieval date, circa 1644. A section of the casting seam remains visible. The sprue was trimmed with nippers. The ball has a pale, yellowish-grey patina. It is 16.7mm in diameter and weighs 24.99gm. The weight suggests it would have been used in an arquebus or caliver.
