Description: | A post-Medieval copper-alloy mount.The object comprises a slightly domed plate in the form of an acorn. The widest point is the cupule, which has a segmented surface, a grooved band at the top and a knop projecting from its base. The tapering nut terminates in a rounded knop. On the reverse are the remains of two added copper-alloy rivets, both of which have been deliberately bent downwards.Dimensions: 38.1mm long, 20.5mm wide, 3.1mm thick. Weight: 7.49g.This is a common form of post-Medieval mount, further examples on the PAS database including BH-35BB55 and BH-79EE10. Brian Read illustrates similar examples, which he dates to the 17thcentury (2001: 29/fig. 22, nos. 331-334).
