Title
Probably Post medieval cannon ball
Description
English: A possible Post Medieval lead alloy cannon ball for a small cannon such as a Rabinet with a 1 inch bore. The shot is sub-spherical with many flat facets and a white patina. It is 28mm in diameter, so may have been intended for a 1 inch bore. It weighs 4 1/2 oz or about 130g which is lighter than the standard weight for a rabinet shot. If not ammunition, the object could be waste lead or a weight of some description.
