Description: | An incomplete lead pilgrim badge of Late Medieval to early post-Medieval date.The badge is thin and the detail relief-moulded. It depicts a standing, forward-facing figure who wears a long, pleated robe with a collar. The head is missing and the edges are also damaged and possibly incomplete. Both arms are held by the figure's side, the hands at the centre of the body. In the left hand he holds a staff, in the right is a globe and possibly a book. Behind the legs is an angled band containing cross-hatched lines and probably representing an architectural detail. The figure stands on a segmented base which has a fleur de lis at the centre. Extending centrally down the reverse is a casting flash with possible remnants of a pin at the bottom. The badge measures 26.5mm long, 16.7mm wide and 2.8mm thick. The weight is 3.19g.Due to the fact that this badge is incomplete, it is impossible to ascertain which saint is depicted.
