Description |
English: Complete but squashed lead powder flask cap, possibly used for measuring a charge of gunpowder. Probably seventeenth century date (AD 1600 – AD 1700). Length 18mm, width 26mm and 15mm thick. Weight 16.74g. The cap contained consolidated soil when measured. The cap, prior to being deformed, would have had a circular “base” and an oval mouth. Viewed with the mouth at the top, the sides flare gently outwards and upwards from the base. At the base, an integral loop projects either side. At one end of the longer side is a vertical casting seam with an associated sprue scar. At the opposite end there is also a vertical casting seam without a sprue scar. The piece appears to be in good condition although one of the loops is fractured in several places. |
