A small, incomplete cast lead-alloy object in the form of a crown, possibly from a pilgrim badge and likely medieval to post-medieval in date, c. AD 1400-1600.

The entire surface of the front shows a crown and the reverse of the object is undecorated. At the apex of the front of the object is an oval-shaped knop and on either side of this, there are tiny pellets running down the ed…

She holds a long object, likely a palm branch, in her left hand, and her right arm encircles a long tower which is…

The badge consists of a rectangular plate with a sub-circular sewing loop projecting from each corner. A further large sub-circular projection at one short end accomodates the halo'd head of the saint, who is depicted standing, bearded and tonsured with his head within a beaded halo. The saint holds a crozier in his left hand and with his right is obscured but is probably raised in blessing (by comparison to other examples). The base of the saint's vestments are fil…

He holds a plain, sub rectangular shield which tapers to point at the level of his waist in his left hand and his right leg is bent slightly with his right foot parallel to the plane, resting on the lower tor…

A Medieval lead alloy Pilgrim badge or devotional aid representing Adam and Eve with serpent and the Tree of Life. The item has broken into parts; five fragments remain. Other fragments are missing; including the part representing Eve. This item is interesting as it is the only type to have been recorded to date (pers comm, Geoff Egan 2006).
