Description: | A fragment from a lead-alloy pilgrim badge of probable 14th or 15th century AD date. Although only a very small part of the original piece, this fragment can be closely paralleled with a largely complete example from Salisbury (Spencer, 1990) which shows the central image of St Thomas (Becket) flanked on either side by an angel. This fragment contains the body of the left hand angel. He/she wears a draped garment and there is a wing visible at the top towards the now-missing head. The outer border of the badge consists of a repeating dot-in-circle pattern. The object is bent and corroded. It measures 28.9mm high by 18.2mm wide and 1.2mm thick. It weighs 3.95g.
