Description: | A complete cast lead alloy medieval pilgrim souvenir pendant. The flat circular disc has an integral sub-rectangular lug at the top and two large attachment holes near the disc. The holes may have been added later, since they pierce through the design on both faces. One face has Saint Margaret standing facing, holding a cross in her right hand and a book in her left. She stands upon the devil, which is depicted as a serpent. The reverse has the letters ?IHS? with a border of zigzags around the edge. The diameter is 26.2mm, the thickness is 2.9mm, the length is 33.5mm and the weight is 7.87g.
The pendant is a souvenir attributed to the shrine of Saint Margaret?s at Lynn and dates to the 15th century. | 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
