Vintage Crowned Lion Sterling Silver Medieval Style Pilgrimage Brooch Badge

A fantastic solid silver brooch depicting a crowned lion in Medieval English style. This motif was a common symbol on coins and seals and state heraldry, as well as displaying loyalty to the monarch. Such badges were also popular in the Middle Ages to show the wearer had made a pilgrimage to a holy place and to act as a protective amulet. We just like its jaunty little wave.
