Description: | A complete and corroded post-Medieval copper-alloy belt or harness mount in the form of an acorn (circa 1600 - 1700).The mount is convex at the front and concave at the rear. At the front it has two horizontal grooves dividing the fruit from the cupola. There is a small knop at the top and a forked stalk at the bottom. At the rear there are two off-centre tapering spikes, one at each end. Both are circular in cross section. Height: 44.07mm, Width: 24.93mm, Thickness: 1.51mm, Weight: 8.06g.Mounts in similar form and style have been published by Brian Read. These published mounts have been dated by Read to: c.1600- c.1700 AD (Read 2001: 29, fig. 22, refs: 331-334).A similar type of mount is recorded on the PAS database: IOW-3EE684.
