Description: | Late Medieval copper alloy badge in the form of a boar. The object is in fair condition, is 54mm long, 22mm wide, 3.5mm thick and weighs 11.26g. The badge is in the form of a left facing boar and clearly shows the animals wrinkled snout, ears, two legs and a ridge of bristles along his back. No surface decoration is visible, but the object is corroded. There are two circular sectioned prongs on the reverse. The boar was the symbol of Richard III (1483 - 1485). This type of badge may have indicated the wearer's allegiance or affinity to the king.
