Description: | A cast copper alloy pilgrim's badge or brooch of later medieval date. The brooch appears to depict a seated or knelt robed figure carrying a lamb, or possibly a child in one arm. This figure is possibly on a boat but the badge is too worn to see. There is a small rounded projection at the back but it is not pierced.The badge is 24.4mm long, 20.8mm wide and 2.2mm thick.There is a possibility that this badge depicts the Virgin and child, the head of the child may be broken off and missing. If so it may be variation of Our Lady of Willesden of which there were large numbers of badges produced in the early 16th century.A similar example is recorded on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database as BERK-29EB55.
