Description: | An incomplete pilgrim badge, comprising a cast openwork fleur-de-lis, broken below the mid-point, with the lower part missing, a loop projects from the outer edge of each foil (one broken), with lines of pellets on the central foil, and foliate decoration on both sides. Hollow reverse. 25mm x >27mm. Cf. Spencer (1998), nos.172-3. The lily was associated with Our Lady, the Virgin, and in particular with the Annunciation. It is possible that this example was made as a souvenir of the shrine of Our Lady at Walsingham (Spencer 157-9).
