Description: | A post-Medieval copper-alloy mount.The mount takes the form of a two dimensional representation of an acorn, the nut protruding from the wider shell below, both ends terminating in a knop. The upper surface is convex, the underside slightly concave. Two circular-sectioned, integrally cast rivets survive on the reverse, one located towards either end, both deliberately bent outwards.Length: 34.1mm; width: 17.2mm; thickness: 2.2mm; weight: 5.2g.Parallels for this mount are illustrated and described by Brian Read, who suggests a 17th century date (2001: 29/fig. 22, nos. 331 - 334).
