Saxon & Medieval — Late Medieval; 14th century
St Dorothy?
Part of a badge consisting of a woman’s hand holding a rose. The buttoned cuff of her sleeve also remains. This badge may be a pilgrim badge but if so, the shrine it came from 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.
