Saxon & Medieval — Late Medieval-Tudor; late 15th-early 16th century
Unidentified saint
Pilgrim badge of an unknown saint. This delicate openwork badge has the figure of a possible saint in the middle but they have not yet been identified. 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.
