Description: | An almost complete Post-Medieval copper-alloy mount in the form of an acorn. The mount is slightly convex at the front and concave at the rear. The seed is plain with a small knop at the top. The cupola is cross-hatched with an angled stalk at the base. At the rear there are two integral tapering spikes which are circular in cross-section and the tips of both are worn and broken.The front would originally probably have been gilded, although no evidence of that currently remains. Mounts in similar form and style have been published by Brian Read. (Read 2001: 29, fig. 22, refs. 331-334.
