Our Lady of Tombelaine Pilgrim Badge. Early fifteenth century. The shrine was on a tiny island near the coast of Normandy, very near Mont-Saint-Michel, where a church devoted to the cult of the Virgin became a focus for pilgrimage. This badge shows the seated Virgin, crowned and in an elaborately patterned dress. To her left is the Flower of Innocence and to her right is a fully clothed infant Christ.
Height 5.8cm. With lapel pin fixing.
