Record ID: PUBLIC-448966
Object type: PILGRIM BADGE
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Kent
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of a cast lead-alloy pilgrim's badge, dating to the medieval period c. AD13th to 15th century. The fragment consists of a small oval lead alloy. On one side is a bearded face and on the other cross hatching. The fragment is very small, measuring only 15.17mm x 12.02mm; it seems likely that this object has been cut down from the original, maybe after the original broke, with the face of the man purposefully selected. The man may represent St Paul (probably) or possibly St John.
