The image shows a small piece of leather cartridge case on display in a glass case. The case is rectangular in shape and appears to be made of a light-colored material. On the front of the case, there is a label that reads "Buff leather Cartridge Case. These were looped onto the belt and carried pre-made paper, linen or metallic cartridges for easy access and reloading. They also were intended to keep the cartridges safe from moisture. This cartridge case was used by a Early War Massachusetts Militia soldier." The label also has the letters "MS" embossed on it. The background of the image is blurred, but it seems to be a museum or exhibition space.
