Description: | Incomplete post medieval copper alloy mount with traces of gilding, both attachment lugs are now stumps (one recent damage).
The mount is in the form of an acorn. It measures 32.1x16.4x1.3mm and weighs 3.33g. It is slightly concave to the reverse.
There are two small patches of gilding below the knop of the acorn. The shell below this, decorated with criss-cross grooves, has very tiny flecks of gilding present. Below this the stem extends and curves to one side, narrowing to a point. A few very tiny flecks of gilding are present.
