File:Medieval pilgrim badge depicting St Peter and St Paul (FindID 1005081).jpg

The badge is rectangular in plan and sub-rectangular in cross section. On its front it has an impressed design depicting St Peter and St Paul, haloed.  The haloes are an inverted tear-drop shape with oblique lines creating a rim. The bodies are sub-oval shaped, rounded at the shoulders extending into a vertical line. They each display one arm, that on the inside, which crosses the body to hold a huge key with the bit facing inwards. Between the figures is a staff.

There is an irregularly shaped hole at the centre with cracks radiating from this. The badge is an off white colour

The badge is 19mm long, 16mm wide and weighs 3.5 grams.

Similar designs of Pilgrims badges depicting St Peter and St Paul are illustrated by Lewis (2014: 158-9). This includes WILT-7D60E8 on the PAS database which is particularly similar. These form of badges relate to Medieval pilgrimage to Rome. It belongs to a group of badges that were in use during the 13th and  14th centuries following Pope Innocent III's regulation of pilgrim badge production in 1199, due to the decline of pilgrimage to Rome after the rise of Compostela in the 12th century (Spencer, 1998: pp. 248, Lewis 2014: 157). This confined production of badges bearing the images of Saints Peter and Paul to Rome itself and through the increase in pilgrimage in the 14th century in particular depictions of the two saints became increasingly popular, with examples reported from numerous museum collections (see Spencer, 1998: pp. 248-249). The examples published by Spencer from Medieval London provide good parallels, particularly nos. 252 and 252a, although these do not have haloes.
