Lead / grease / flint container
Hi all,
Found last week, this small container made of brass with heavy wear. Those have been discussed here before (http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...=Bullet+bronze, http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=17586) and have been described as lead balls, grease, or flints containers. I don't have much more to add on the subject but I can link this example from Georgia from the Quai Branly, describe as a lead shot container : https://m.quaibranly.fr/fr/explorer-...-boite-a-plomb. Anyway, I like this one, even though the attachments are broken, the wear on the engraving is pretty cool I think. |
