Medieval lead alloy pilgrim badge?, 27mm long, 26mm wide and 3.5mm thick. The object is in fair condition and weighs 7.34 grams. It consists of a poorly cast circle which has five 'spokes' running into a central circular hub. The outer side of the circle has sub spherical protrusions (technically known as crockets) around most of its length, with one small area having a flattened edge. This looks like either a miscasting or a break point. The object is probably a 'Catherine wheel' representing the torture device used on St. Catherine before her execution.

His badges sometimes feature a lion at his feet, there is definitely something near the base that could be a reclining animal? The reverse has a clear casting ridge running up the centre with two protrusions suggesting att…
