Saxon & Medieval — Late Medieval; 15th-16th century
Badge, secular badge
Lead alloy secular badge cast in the form of a knight in armour on horseback. The horse is wearing trappings decorated with flowers. The knight's full plate armour is probably late 15th or 16th century in style. The horse appears to be wearing a crown on its head. The horse's head and one of its legs have snapped off and are now loose in the box. Its back leg is also very delicate and liable to bending. The pin and its catch are still intact on the back of the badge.
