Description: | Fragment of lead or tin alloy pilgrim badge in the shape of a crescent with six pellets, each of the six larger pellets is seperated by two smaller pellets. There are two projections from the inside of the crescent that would have formed part of an openwork design. Crescents are common in many pilgrim badge designs, the fragmentary nature of this piece makes assigning a particular shrine to it extremely difficult, it could be part of a quatrefoil design such as Spencer 1998, nos.161, 189a, 190. The back of the piece is flat and undecorated.Length: 8.38mmWidth: 13.34mmWeight: 0.4gSpencer, B. 1998. Pilgrim Souvenirs and Secular Badges. The Stationery Office, London.
