Description: | Part of a lead alloy pilgrim badge. The badge is a thin piece of metal in the form of the Virgin depicted looking down and left and holding the body of the dead Christ on the left. The left and bottom sides of the badge are broken, but not recently. The person's left hand and cuff are clear, as is the row of buttons down the front of their garment. The badge is 24.9mm long, 14.6mm wide and 3.4mm thick. On the reverse is a flat and tapering pin which was cast as one with the badge. The metal is grey with white powdery corrosion in the hollows. This one can be assigned to Walsingham in Norfolk (cf. Spencer 1998 fig 153b).
