Saxon & Medieval — Late Medieval; 14th century
Unidentified saint's hand
Badge in the shape of a hand with a beaded cuff and a small loop at the top. There is a pin on the back. It is possible that this is a pilgrim souvenir, but if so, the shrine where it was made is 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.
