Title |
17th century lead powder holder cap, base top and profile view |
||
Description |
English: A lead cap from a 17th century gunpowder holder. The holder is oval at the base measuring 14.6 mm x 18.9 mm. It measures 12.3 mm high with its walls flaring slightly. It is bent slightly out of shape. The holder is made from sheet lead which is cut, folded and soldered into position. There is damage to the base. From the base protrudes one attachment loop and there would originally have been another opposite which has broken off. The loops enabled the cap to be attached separately to the bandolier (belt) of the wearer so that they could be removed without the possibility of being dropped and lost. The cap would have been part of a powder-charger or powder-holder, a small flask holding enough powder for a complete charge for the weapon. A series of these holders were attached to the bandolier.
