Description: | MED Silver gilt pilgrim badge, small cast openwork rood group comprising the crucified Christ with the Virgin Mary and St John on either side, suspension-loop broken, 15 x (at least) 21mm, weight 2.90g. An unusual survival of a pilgrim souvenir executed in precious metals rather than the more commonplace tin-lead alloy, although another small silver gilt pilgrim badge (of St George) was found recently in Norfolk (33440 Briston). Cf. discussion of small lead-alloy rood badges in Spencer (1998) 170. 15th century. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
