Description: | A copper-alloy belt mount or horse harness decoration of probable 17th century date. Parallels can be found in B. Read; 2001; Metal Artefacts of Antiquity; pp. 29 and 37, nos. 331-334.The mount appears to have been designed to represent an acorn. The wide bottom (shell) section has a horizontal ridge along its top edge and is decorated with a series of vertical grooves. The narrower (acorn) section above also contains these vertical grooves and terminates at the top in a horizontal ridge and rounded knob. A circular knob also protrudes from the underside of the shell section. The reverse is undecorated and slightly concave. There are two lugs, the bottom one being incomplete and the top one complete and bent upwards. The object measures 25.1 mm long, 13.6mm wide and 1.5mm thick. The weight is 2.2g.
