14TH C. ENGLISH PEWTER PILGRIM
14TH C. ENGLISH PEWTER PILGRIM BADGES (7 PCS)Northern Europe, England, ca. 14th to 19th century CE. A wonderful ensemble of 7 pewter pilgrim badges, all boasting differing forms. The first and largest is of rectangular form adorned with a stippled motif as well as 3 shields on the top section and 2 busts and a kneeling figure in the lower. The next displays the relief image of a king standing in a tondo as he holds a globus cruciger in 1 hand and a scepter in the other. Alternatively, the third badge exhibits an openwork design of a slender knight holding a sword while standing in an oval. Fourth is another slender knight, but this one is instead wielding a dagger. A fifth badge features a 3-armed crucifix and the last is the head of a figure in a tondo. Size of largest (rectangle): 1.7" L x 0.9" W (4.3 cm x 2.3 cm)
People of the Middle Ages went on pilgrimages to the tomb of a saint, or a site where relics of a saint(s) were venerated. The pilgrim might pray at a shrine in order to thank the saint for miraculous healing or a cure. However, for some, the journey itself was a means of purification. In addition to voluntary pilgrimages, some pilgrimages were a form of punishment imposed by the courts or the Church. A person might have been ordered to make a pilgrimage to Rome for example, remain there for several years, and bring back some evidence, such as this badge. Besides wearing a voluminous cloak (the pelerine) and a large hat with a wide brim, carrying a wooden pilgrim's staff, a scrip (a pilgrim's flask) and a rosary, the most important signs of a pilgrim were the pewter pilgrims' badges he pinned to his hat, scrip, or cloak. At every pilgrimage site, a pilgrim could acquire a pilgrims' badge sold as a consecrated souvenir of the sacred place, just as they can do this today.
