Description: | A cast copper-alloy object, probably a finial or terminal, and perhaps related to furniture of Post-Medieval period. It is in the form of an acorn cast in the round with neat oval shaped body, projecting transverse collar and hemispherical base representing the acorn cup. At the top of the acorn is a central cylindrical projection that terminates in old breaks, whilst at the base is a larger square sectioned shaft that also terminates in old breaks just beneath the acorn. The entire object has a green patina an measures 39.77mm in length, 14.60mm in diameter, and weighs 25.94g.This termnal or finial is likely to date to the Post-Medieval rather than earlier periods due to its form and that of the integral stem. It may have been utilised for furniture or as a decorative element on similar objects as is noted on parallels recorded through the PAS (for example WILT-DD6992).
