Finds illustration - flintlock pistol, Whitestown Co. Waterford

This flintlock pistol was found during archaeological excavation work carried out for the East Waterford Water Mains Supply scheme. The pistol was illustrated after conservation. Due to the size and composite nature of the object it was drawn digitally using a combination of precise measurements, photos and scans. Care was taken to adhere to professional conventions in order to distinguish between the different materials present. In the final stage of drawing, colour was added to further accommodate easy interpretation of the object.
