Gilded-Silver Badge with the Virgin and Child in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, February 2010

Gilded-Silver Badge with the Virgin and Child in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, February 2010
Gilded-Silver Badge with the Virgin and Child
Made in Germany, about 1500

Accession # 30.95.125

Pendants or badges with images of saints and holy figures were probably worn as talismans- the patron saint likely chosen to answer personal concerns- and as displays of piety.

Text from the Metropolitan Museum of Art label.
