Description: | A small cast lead-alloy fragment probably from a medieval pilgrim badge. The fragment appears to be from the border of such a badge, probably the lower edge. It features one notably straight side, above which is a row of what appears to be Gothic lettering: ...EM(R)I:S. Above this is seemingly a section of the draped outfit of an ecclesiastical or female figure. The fragment is otherwise irregular; the wear and limited patterning makes it difficult to identify any saint or figure depicted. The reverse is undecorated and has a raised area which might have been part of the pin mechanism. It also features a patch of white correction fluid on which is written the finder's number 476.
