Description: | A cast copper-alloy strap fitting or mount of Post-Medieval date. It is in the form of an acorn in its cup, with oval plate that is slightly convex, and projecting knop at top. 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 35.17mm in length, 19.99mm in width, 3.27mm in thickness and 5.45g 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 |
