Description: | Medieval lead alloy pilgrim badge, 56mm long and 53mm wide. The object is in a fair condition with a dark brown patina and weighs 22.7grams. It is roughly oval in form and is missing most of its upper edge. It shows two figures, probably Adam and Eve standing either side of a tree with what looks like a serpent slithering down the trunk. The head of the male figure is missing, as is the canopy of the tree. The whole object is roughly cast, openwork decoration and is enclosed with a rope like border with a plain reverse. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Scott, Wendy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
