Description: | A lead pilgrim badge, (??)rectangular in shape, measuring 32mm in length and 22mm in width. The top and bottom are missing due to old breaks. In the bottom left hand corner there is a secondary circular perforation, this follows the continental pattern of attachment using stitching loops (rather than the usual English pattern of using an integral pin). The front face depicts a seated figure in robes, holding a fleur-de-lis headed sceptre in the left hand and an unidentified object in the right (possibly a gospel book). The legend probably read, SILLVM SCE/AEDGAR.REG(IS), 'the sign of Edgar saint and king'. The back is plain.
