Description: | A Medieval copper alloy pilgrim badge (13th - 15th century). The badge is figurative depicting a standing figure holding a staff in one hand and the other hand has two fingers raised in blessing. The figure is wearing a pointed headdress and robes that are draped. To the left of the standing figure are two or three smaller kneeling figures, each with their hands raised and clasped. The badge probably represents St Thomas Becket (Spencer 1998:72). In the centre on the reverse is a small projection that is the remains of the pin for attachment. A patchy pale green patina with large areas of brown base metal showing through.
