Description: | Complete Medieval cast copper alloy figurative mount (1300-1500 AD). The oval-sectioned mount is shaped like an acorn, and has incised decoration on the front to define the acorn cup in the lower half of the mount. Projecting from the lowest point of the acorn shape is a small square tab to form the stem. On the reverse of the mount there are two internally-cast rivets. They are parallel along the central vertical axis of the mount, with one in the upper half of the acorn and the other in the lower. The mount has a dark olive-green patina with pale concretion on the reverse. It measures 28.6mm long, 15.1mm wide and 1.3m thick. It weighs 2.54 grams.Egan and Pritchard (1991) illustrate a number of naturalistic figurative mounts from 14 and 15th century contexts, p.201 refs. 1083-1088.
