Date: 14th - 15th century A fragment of a medieval gold badge or mount, now damaged and incomplete. On one side, a standing robed figure cradling a baby probably represents the Virgin and Child.

The edges of the badge are engraved with fluting, and may once have included stitching holes, for attaching to clothing or as a hat badge.
