AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
From own collection.
Medieval tin objects such as pilgrim badges, parts of Profane and Holy insignia.
Collection of 5 late medieval lead-tin and brass brooches and badges – circa 1300–1425
Varied collection of finds from the ground, including:
an openworked decorative brooch;
a coin-minted Fiorino brooch;
an openworked decorative brooch;
a buckle- or brooch fragment;
a round, openworked brooch.
The objects have been compared by the owner with examples from a reference work on medieval lead-tin objects. Some similar types are dated therein to between circa 1300 and 1425.
Material: presumably lead-tin, brass
Condition: finds from the ground with oxidation, wear, deformation and missing fastening pins. See the photos for the state and workmanship. The depicted pages from the reference work are intended solely for comparison and are not supplied.
These badges or emblems made of tin, brass or precious metal were taken along on pilgrimage for protection or to show which journey had been undertaken; they were worn on the pilgrim's clothing, hat, staff or robe. Many were thrown into the water upon returning home as an offering. But they were also cast into bells, sewn into books.
