Description: | A cast copper-alloy object, probably a finial or terminal, and perhaps related to furniture of Post-Medieval period. It is in the form of an acorn cast in the round with neat oval shaped body, and projecting hemispherical base representing the acorn cup. At the base of the cup is a stub of a circular sectioned shaft, terminating in an old break. The entire object has a green patina and measures 27.2mm long, 15.6mm diameter and 24.6g.This solid terminal or finial is likely to date to the Post-Medieval rather than earlier periods due to its form and that of the integral stem. It may have been utilised for furniture or as a decorative element on similar objects as is noted on parallels recorded through the PAS (for example WILT-DD6992). Compare also SF-90BB94. The object could also be a pendant such as SUR-2FBA66.
