Description: | Post-medieval copper-alloy mount in the form of an acorn, c. 17th century. The mount is complete, flat and acorn-shaped with a single protruding knop at the top of the acorn and two at the bottom. The shell of the acorn also has a cross-hatched decoration. The reverse is plain and contains two lugs, one of which is lost and the other is bent. Very little of the original surface has survived. It measures 35mm long, 20mm wide, is 6.5mm thick and weighs 6.1g. Similar acorn mounts can be found in Read, B. 2001.
