Description: | A Medieval lead alloy pilgrim's badge for the shrine Our Lady of Willesden (early 16th century). The badge depicts the Virgin and Child within a crescent moon. The Virgin wears a crown and holds the Child in her left arm and a sceptre in her right hand, all within the horns of the moon. Around the base of the moon is a row of pellets. The downward pointing pin is still present on the reverse, although it is bent out of alignment. This badge is very similar to no.155 in Spencer (1998:149-150). Dimensions: length: 22.33mm; width: 20.59mm; thickness: 4.70mm; weight: 2.28g. Reference: Spencer, B. 1998. Pilgrim Souvenirs and Secular Badges. The Stationery Office, London.
