Description: | Post Medieval cast copper alloy mount in the shape of an acorn with two integral rivet spikes on the back. The acorn has an elongated oval shape with a thinner 'nut' with a small projecting knop at the top, a raised collar across the middle and a broader cup below decorated with raised lozenges in a grid and with a small split stem projecting at the bottom. The end of the stem appears broken with an old break. The front is slightly convex and the back concave. The attachment spikes are circular in section, and taper towards the ends. The ends are bent upwards 90 degrees but the tips are missing from old breaks. The rivets are arranged along the centre line. It is 37.9mm long by 21.2mm wide, 2.3mm thick excluding the rivets, 4.4mm including. It weighs 4.65 grams.Read (2001) illustrates a similar example with a complete stem (p.37, no.333) which he dates to 1600-1700 AD.
