- Lot Description
Northwestern Europe, England, ca. 14th to 15th century CE. A fabulous collection of 5 pewter and gilt copper livery badges featuring different emblems. The first is a medieval pilgrim’s badge for St. Werburga who is known for her miracle of resurrecting a dead goose and reuniting the flock. The badge features several long-necked geese in a basket. Next is a bear chained to a ragged staff, an emblem of strength for the Earls of Warwick. Third is an embossed livery badge of a Talbot dog with a spiked collar. The dog sits on its back haunches with a thin tail around its body, and drooping ears. Dogs were a popular motif to symbolize allegiance or loyalty and this specific hound symbolized Earl John Talbot of Shrewsbury; in fact, the dog breed was named after him. Fourth is a political badge with a king or elite person on horseback. Last is a gilt copper shield inlaid with blue enamel squares which no doubt represented another elite family. A great collection of diverse symbols. Size of bear badge: 1.7" L x 1" W (4.3 cm x 2.5 cm)
Provenance: ex-estate of Eldert Bontekoe, Pegasi Numismatics, Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA acquired before 2000
All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.
