Description: | A Post Medieval lead alloy incomplete badge depicting the Sun of York (c. 1520). This is a circular badge with a plain centre disc and surrounding rays which are each topped with a fleur-de-lis. Several are broken with only the stumps remaining making it difficult to ascertain if all the rays are the same length. There is no evidence of a pin on the reverse. Similar badges of the Sun of York are illustrated in Spencer (1998: 294 & 297) which are dated to c. 1520. However, none of these badges have the fleur-de-lis terminals on the end of the rays.Dimensions: Diameter: 40.02mm; weight: 3.31g.Reference: Spencer, B. 1998. Pilgrim Souvenirs and Secular Badges. The Stationery Office, London.
