Medieval pilgrim badge |

| Description |
English: A medieval cast lead alloy monogram of Maria pilgrim badge. The badge is in the shape of a lombardic m with crown above. The crown is formed of three projections; the two outer projections are trefoil and the central is a single collared knop. The outline of the 'm' has a beaded border and in the gaps between the columns of the m the casting seam can be seen. The reverse of the badge is plain; the catchplate has survived intact but only the stump of the pin remains. The badges measures 26.2mm (height) x 26.9mm (width) x 3.9mm (thickness) and weighs 2.97g.
Spencer notes that letters were a common base or "framework" for pilgrim badges in the 14th and 15th century, and that the crowned m stood for "Maria, Queen of Heaven" (1998, 155). |
