Silver badge in the form of a female bust, in quarter profile (left), wearing early sixteenth-century dress, including a 'kennel-shaped' head-dress with hair loose beneath. The low square neckline of her dress reveals a cruciform pendant that she wears around her neck. The object has a cabled border on its lower edge, probably representing a crest wreath or torse; it may be therefore that this badge is heraldic.
