Description: | A heavy cast copper-alloy terminal in the form of an acorn. The broken end is sub-rectangular in cross-section and begins to curve away from the mount. The acorn itself is moulded; the lower surface is flat. The cup of the acorn is decorated with incised cross-hatching. The nut is plain but well rendered with a protruding tip. Fine diagonal scratching can be seen on the reverse face. Such an object is likely to be post-medieval in date, although its function is uncertain. Similar objects have been recorded on this database, the latter from the locality: NMS-543E72, HAMP-CDCB41. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Webley, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
