Medieval badge |

| Description |
English: A medieval badge in the form of a crowned, Lombardic letter "M". Badges if this type were commonly produced in base metal in the 14th and 15th centuries to signify devotion to the Virgin Mary. This example is silver and dates from the C15 (Brian Spencer, Pilgrim Souvenirs and Secular badges, Museum of London 1998, pp 155-157). The back is rather roughly finished and has 3 small round scars from the fitting. One is behind the centre of the crown & the others are behind the bottom of the centre bar of the M |
