The other face shows no evidence of any decoration and this surface is quite rough in comparison with the crossed face.The general patina is of a light grey colour although the rougher face is slightly darker with more of a brown hue.It is possible that the object was circular and has been damaged to form its current shape but this cannot be certain.

Lead alloy probable pilgrim badge fragment, as kindly identified by the finder. A fragment from a cast uniface badge with a projecting rib behind, possibly the stub of fastening gear. The display face depicts a figure in a knee-length tunic with straight lower legs projecting, and with an apparent expansion of the figure at the top, where it is raggedly broken. The legs and feet are either bordered in a niche, or represented before a seat or throne. Patinated. Thomas Becket was usually depicted in archiepiscopal robes, and so is not presumably the subject here, though more complex sou…
