Medieval Badges, Our lady of Tombelaine Pewter Badge

Our lady of Tombelaine

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
