Description: | Fragment of a lead possibly satirical Medieval secular badge, of a type related to pilgrim badges, with a headless standing figure in a flaring skirt holding an obliquely-angled staff within fragments of two sides of a rectangular frame, vertical casting seam and large lozengiform-sectioned spike on reverse. >23 x >28mm. Possibly part of a variant on propagandist badges depicting Queen Isabella as a domineering queen, produced by factions in opposition to her and her lover, Roger Mortimer probably during the period of their rule in place of her son, Edward III, between 1327-1330. Cf. Spencer (1998) 310-12, nos.308a-308b.
