Description: | Copper alloy post medieval mount in the shape of an acorn, with a two grooves around its middle, a knop at one end and a bent stalk at the other. It is missing one of its attachment spikes. It is 31.5mm long and max 14mm wide. Where the patina remains, it is light green and shiny. Otherwise the metal is purpley-brown. The bent stalk appears to be taking the form of a bird's head with triangular beak. However, this would point down if the acorn were upright. On the reverse, the area with the attachment spikes is slightly hollowed. The surviving one is bent and c.8mm in length. 16th/ 17th century | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1501
