Description: | A cast lead alloy unidentified object, perhaps a Medieval pilgrim badge or a Medieval to Post Medieval cloth seal. The object is a small circular object moulded with the design of a scallop shell in relief. Both faces are moulded the same making the object a ellipsis in cross-section. It is not clear whether the object is solid or made from two matching moulded sheets. The item is 10.5mm diameter, 3.6mm thick and 1.79g.A very similar object is BERK-C11095 which is suggested to be a pilgrim's badge. The scallop shell is a symbol of pilgrimmage and of St James. See also SF-F44256 which is interpreted as a cloth seal with a shell moulding on one disc.
