Description: | : Lead AlloyPossible Livery Badge. Cast plano-convex plate with a rectangular scar about 5mm square centrally on its flat back relating to attachment. The motif portrays a star or sunburst with sixteen rays, of which every fourth ray appears to have extended beyond its neighbours. The sunburst was a Yorkist badge under Edward IV (1461-1483), though the device of a star with streams (badge of the Lancastrian Earl of Oxford) was sufficiently similar to cause lethal confusion at the Battle of Barnet (1471). Patinated overall. Suggested date: Late Medieval, 1450-1500.Diameter: 27.4mm, Thickness: 4.5mm, Weight: 11.08gms.
