Description: | Cast copper alloy acorn mount dating to the Post-Medieval period, (1500-1800). The object is in the form of an acorn and is slightly domed. Decorating the top and bottom of the object are small rounded knops while a horizontal band runs across the centre of the object representing the division between the nut and the shell. Two integral downwards-facing lugs are on the top and bottom of the reverse for attachment. The object has a mid green patina and is worn. It can be dated to the 17th century. Similar examples can be found on p37, Read, (2001).
