Description: | A cast copper alloy acorn shaped mount with gilded surface.The mount is slightly domed acorn shaped plate, with two integrally cast revets at the reverse. The cupule is well defined with a segmented surface and a grooved band at the top and a L-shaped stem projecting from its base. The nut is narrower than the cupule and terminates in a rounded knop. The surface is gilded.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; page 29, nos. 331-334)
