Description: | A cast copper-alloy strap fitting or mount of Post-Medieval date. It is in the form of an acorn, with oval plate that is slightly convex, and projecting knops at top and bottom. The front face of the plate has moulded decoration comprising a central transverse rib below which the surface has cross-hatched decoration indicating the acorn cup. On the back face of the plate are two incomplete but integrally cast lugs or rivets, one positioned at top centre and one at bottom centre, each folded to tapering sharp points. The entire object measures 39.49mm in length, 22.54mm in width, 4.62mm in thickness and 8.85g in weight. This is a strap fitting or mount of Post-Medieval date similar to near identical parallels recorded on the PAS database (e.g. FAKL-965295). It is of probable 16th-17th century AD date. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
