There are the stubs of two integral circular sectioned rivet spikes on the back, one near either end, both off center, most of the spikes are lost to patinated breaks. The acorn has an elongated oval shape with a thinner 'nut' with a small projecting knop at the top, and a broader cup below covered in a raised decoration of pellets arranged in a chequerboard pattern with a plain line at the top of the cup. At the centre of the lower point of the cup is a stem, curving off to the right. There are traces of guilding on the front.The object is 29.5mm long by 15.4mm wide, 3.1mm thick excluding the rivets, 6.5mm including. It weighs 4.06grams.A similar mount may be found in Read (2001:37), no.331 which he dates to the 17th century.
