A fragment of the copper alloy matchlock, probably dating to AD c.1600-c.1750. This plate is probably part of the firing mechanism possibly the serpentine. It would be one of a pair.

Post Medieval, copper alloy, cone form, possibly a mount, decorated with seven orders of concentric circles. The object's walls are 2mm thick.
