Saxon & Medieval — Late Medieval; 14th-15th century
Frame fragment; inscribed
Part of a pilgrim badge with a wide, square frame. The frame is decorated on the inside edge with beading. It is inscribed ‘L O’ on each side of the frame; the ‘L’ and ‘O’ are separated by a small fleur-de-lys in each case. It is possible that this is a pilgrim souvenir, but if so, the shrine where it was made is currently unknown. Pilgrims who travelled to religious shrines frequently bought souvenirs of their pious journey such as ampullae (small bottles for holy water), badges and figurines.
