A Medieval lead alloy badge dating to the 15th century. The badge has been cast in the form of a Lombardic 'S' with decorative pellets in place of serifs. On the reverse are the remains of the integral pin; the end is broken and missing. The shape of the badge is slightly distorted.<\/p>
\n<\/p>\n\n
A similar badge is published in Egan & Pritchard (1991:202 no. 1095) which came from a context dated 1400-1450. The published example is slightly different in that the entire surface is decorated with pellets.<\/p>
