Description: | Copper alloy pilgrim badge. Deeply moulded openwork with and undecorated flat back. A badge of St Roch. The figure of St Roch in the centre centre, wearing a pilgrim's hat, with a bag and a staff (on right). He is exposing a plague buboe at his groin. There is a small dog rearing up the staff and on the left is a kneeling supplicant. St Roch was associated with pilgrimage and the plague having been cured of the latter by the former. He had a shrine at Montpelier. A similar example from Dordrecht, Netherlands (van Beuningen and Koldeweij 1993, no. 327, p. 190) is incomplete. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1300
