Description: | A cast copper alloy mount, in the shape of an acorn. The mount has a concave reverse with two spikes/hooks extending out from it. The spikes are located on the central axis of the mount, on other end of the object. The spikes are now bent. The mount itself depicts an acorn design. An incised long, around the top of the mount marks one part of the acorn. Two more incised lines (around the centre of the mount) indicate the join on an acorn and a small knop terminal acts as the stump, of the stem which would have attached the acorn to a branch. The object is a shiny mid reddish-brown colour. It probably dates to the 16th -17th century. This mount was probably used to decorate leather.
