Description: | Flat circular pilgrims badge. The badge has a moulded decoration on the face. The perimeter of the badge consists of a zig-lagged band and in the centre are the letters IHC, mirror-imaged and not clearly rendered. There is a hole at 7.00, presumably a makeshift means of fixing it on a garment, gouged by the owner. Its location indicates that s/he too was unaware of the significance of the basic motif, as it would have hung at an angle irreconcilable with getting the letters upright.
There are lines coming of the letters in a sunburst fashion. The reverse of the badge has a possible broken circular lug.
The object may have been a uniface token later made into a badge or pendant. | 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: | 1400
