Medieval Equestrian Knight Badge Group
13th-15th century A.D.Sold for (Inc. bp): £65
Comprising a circular stone with an incised cross to one side and a series of 13 heraldic hearts to the other; a bronze cross pendant with annulet-in-circle motifs to one side. 47 grams total, 30-36 mm
From an old Worcestershire, UK collection. The Kusmirek Collection, UK.
The copper-alloy pendant appears to be cross-shaped with the top arm forming the suspension loop. It is therefore possible to consider the pendant to be T-shaped, in the form of the Greek letter Tau. These Tau crosses often acted as miniature reliquaries which are thought to have contained a herbal compound that was used to treat the symptoms of St Anthony's fire. -
