Saxon & Medieval — Late Medieval; late 14th century
Hunting on horseback
Badge in the shape of a medieval falconer on horseback. The man holds a hawk on his left, gloved hand. He is fashionably dressed in a tight-fitting doublet with a row of buttons down the front. He has wavy hair and his beard is forked. There are several badges in the medieval collection that depict similar outdoor pursuits and feats of arms (e.g. jousting and archery). They were probably worn by sporting enthusiasts.
