Medieval Strap-end. A copper-alloy strap end made
from six separate pieces that are shaped and riveted together to form
the scene of a mitred bishop holding a book ? or praying, standing on a
plinth in an architectural frame. Circa 15th century. Cf. Michael
Mitchiner, Medieval Pilgrim & Secular Badges, pp.20 - 24. & p.265.
Lincolnshire 36mm x 19mm. It is uncertain as to who the figure
represents, but it is possible that it is Thomas Becket. Also from a
dating point a 15th century pilgrim souvenir from the shrine of St Mary
at Priory church in Tobelaine has a framework which is similar. Patchy
patina but extremely rare. |
