Description: | A post-medieval cast copper-alloy mount in the shape of an acorn. The front is slightly convex and the back concave. There are two integral oval sectioned rivet spikes on the back, one above the other, both off center. The point of the upper rivet is bent down and the lower rivet bent up. The acorn has an elongated oval shape with a thinner 'nut' with a projecting knop at the top, and a broader, thicker cup below. An incised line marks out a band at the top of the cup dividing the cup from the nut. At the centre of the lower point of the cup is a stem, curving off to the right. There is a chip form one side.A similar mount is published by Read (2001:37), no.331 which he dates to the 17th century.
