Description
Pilgrim Souvenirs and Secular Badges is an exceptional reference work that explores medieval badges in unprecedented depth. This catalogue provides a unique insight into the popularity of different cults and pilgrim centres, shedding light on the sometimes arduous journeys to famous and far-off sanctuaries. The book features nearly 800 items of popular medieval jewellery, including previously unpublished finds retrieved from datable archaeological London waterfront deposits. The catalogue offers a chronological framework for future excavations, making it an invaluable resource for historians and collectors alike. Brian Spencer's meticulous research brings to light the often-overlooked world of medieval badges, revealing a wealth of non-religious imagery that provides pointers to fashion in contemporary precious jewellery.
