Description: | Lead AlloyPilgrim Badge. Cast ampulla retaining one crescentic handle, and with a wall of thickness 1.2mm where this is exposed. A motif on one side comprises a flower with four longitudinally divided petals. The motif on the other side appears to be a crown with a markedly arched band and a prominent central fleur. Patinated overall, and torn at one top corner. An example which is either more complex or better preserved is illustrated by Spencer (1990, Salisbury and South Wiltshire Museum Medieval Catalogue, part 2: pilgrim souvenirs & secular badges, fig. 182), appearing among items where a crown may allude to the Virgin Mary as Queen of Heaven, whose cult at Walsingham enjoyed a later medieval vogue, though other possibilities may be entertained. Suggested date: later Medieval, 1350-1500.Height: 47.8mm, Width: 28.6mm, Thickness (overall): 6.5mm, Weight: 35.33gms.
