Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy mount of Post-Medieval date. It is in the form of an acorn with slightly convex front face and concave back face. It has a moulded transverse groove on the front face delineating the division between nut and cup, the cup having traces of cross-hatching and the nut multiple vertical grooves at its base. At the top and bottom of the mount are small projecting semi-circular knops. On the back face are the remains of two incomplete integrally cast rivets that are cylindrical in form and missing their tips due to old breaks. The entire object has worn surfaces with traces of gilding on the front face. It measures 25.83mm in length, 15.03mm in width, 2.96mm in thickness and 3.15g in weight. This mount is Post-Medieval in date, probably belonging in the 16th to 17th centuries AD. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
