Description: | A fragment of a lead medieval (AD c.1314-c.1500) pilgrim badge missing its head and its pin and catchplate. The fragment measures 22.0mm long, 26.1mm wide and 2.4mm thick. It weighs 5.63g. The complete badge would have shown the head and shoulders of Thomas Becket, copying the Head Reliquary at Caterbury Cathedral (known as the 'Crown' or 'Caput Sancti Thome'. Visible on the fragment are Becket's chest and shoulders. See Spencer, B., 1998, Pilgrim Souvenirs and Secular Badges, p.102-117.
