Description: | Incomplete Medieval lead pilgrim badge, standing figure of the Virgin and Child, missing the heads of both Mary and the infant Christ and the lower part of the Virgin's legs although the head of the dove, which stood by her left foot, survives. Badges of this type are commonly found in London and are probably from an unattributed shrine of the Virgin in the area. Previously only one example was known from outside London. Cf. Spencer (1998) nos.160 and 160a. Late 15th-early 16th century.
