Description: | A copper alloy acorn, perhaps a finial of some kind, cast in a single piece with a pricked top to the acorn itself and a clear 'cup' in which it sits. There are signs of fracture beneath the cup. The acorn has facets as sides, and the cup is punched with many small ornamental grooves to simulate nature. The origin of the object is unknown, as the acorn motif occurs especially in Roman and post-medieval contexts. | Subjects: | acorn terminal | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
