Object type: POWDER MEASURE
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A Post medieval lead alloy powder measure cap. It is a small circular vessel with a circular base and straight sides, probably dating from the 17th Century. It is somewhat distorted. It was the cap of a powder measure (also known as an apostle since there were twelve on each bandolier) which contained enough gunpowder for a single round. Two scars show where two small loops once projected from the sides at the base; both are now missing. These would have allowed it to be attached to the bandolier and the body of the powder measure by a cord. For reference see Courtney, P. 1988 'Small …

Incomplete Medieval copper alloy bar shaped fitting or mount. The mount is roughly tongue-shaped with a tapering spike projecting from one end and a broken terminal at the other end - the original overall shapeof these terminals is unclear due to heavy wear of the edges. The mount is D-shaped in section with 2 raised transverse ridges. Towards each end of the bar is a single circular-sectioned rivet. Traces of gilding survive along the upper surface. Although heavily worn this object can be best paralleled to mounts used in horse harness gear (see PAS Record FAKL-D7DB47) but could pl…
