Saxon & Medieval — Late Medieval; 14th-15th century
Label; inscribed
Part of a pilgrim souvenir or devotional badge. This rectangular strip has a Latin inscription: ‘FLD.IN DEO’ (meaning ‘Faith in God’). 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.
