Description: | Probable fragment of a pilgrims badge. The badge is in the form of a human male face, shown face on. The male has large pellet eyes and a long triangular moulded nose. The mouth is shown by a single straight line below the nose, and looks as if he is frowning. The perimeter of the object is very worn and incomplete, but there apears to be a simple long hairline or hood that extends to the chin. The reverse is plain and there are no methods for attachment. The metal is also uncertain; it has a light green patina and looks like copper alloy, however on the surface is what appears to be lead alloy.See WAW-4DE1A2 for Geoff Egan's opinion on similar badges; they may be Christ as 'Man of Sorrows' and belong to the 15th or even the early 16th century.
