Description: | A lead alloy musket ball of post-Medieval date, circa 1644. The ball has a pale, yellowish-grey patina. The casting seam is visible and the sprue has been trimmed by a single cut from nippers. The ball is 16.8mm in diameter and weighs 27.36gm. The weight suggests it would have been used in an arquebus or caliver. (Harding (2012) Lead Shot of the English Civil War: a Radical Study.)
