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 has a projecting knop at the base. 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 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 37.27mm in length, 22.09mm in width, 3.81mm in thickness and 8.43g 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: | https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/ | Go to resource |
