Saxon & Medieval — Late Medieval; 15th century
Unidentified clerical figure
Part of a pilgrim badge from an unknown shrine. This badge is in the form of a figure in ecclesiastical vestments, probably a sainted bishop. His head is missing. He is standing on some kind of pedestal but its form is unclear. There were several saints who were depicted on badges as bishops. Pilgrims who travelled to religious shrines frequently bought souvenirs of their pious journey such as ampullae (small bottles for holy water), badges and figurines.
