Description: | A lead probable retainers badge from the late medieval period. The badge is sub-circular in shape and the front of the bears a device of an upright sword with two stars to either side and a cross patt??e above within a shield which is bordered by a raised circle. The reverse has a lead attachment lug which also bears a device, but this is damage and the device cannot be determined easily. All that remains is two sub-circular shapes within what was once probably a complete circle of border pellets. The badge measures 26 mm long by 24.4 mm wide. The reverse lug is 15.1 mm in diameter. The badge probably dates from the 14th to 15th centuries. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Brindle, Tom - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
