Pilgrim Badge Greyhound

£15.90

Brooch made from lead-free pewter in the style of a C15th pilgrim badge. Fastens to clothing or bags via a pin on reverse.

Popular in the latter part of the medieval period, the pilgrim badge was a souvenir bought at the site of a holy shrine to commemorate a pilgrimage. Thought to imbue religious power through its contact with the holy relics at the shrine, these badges were thought of as more than a decorative piece but as a talisman or secondary relic.

The grehound’s noble status meant it was often associated with good fortune. The quote, Bien Ai a Aui Me Porte translates as, good luck to whoever wears me.
