Wing Ding. Our latest favorite, with its Art Deco lines. Kind of like the Chrysler Building.... Wing Ding 5.00 HP2, no1761 1325-1375.     PINTEL IN The inscription on this brooch, "PINTELIN," is actually a command - or maybe just a remark of encouragement. "Pintel" means penis - and with that information, you can figure it out. PINTELIN $5.00 HP2, no. 1766 1325-1375 Louise Spinning. Sometimes she stays home and works. Louise Spinning $5.00 HP2, no. 1775 1300-1350   Climbing. You can explain it to me.... Climbing $5.00 HP2, no. 1763-1765 Pilgrim's Reward You may have been taught in school that Chaucer's Wife of Bath comments on the unbridled sexual proclivities of female pilgrims. Here's evidence of a popular perception that pilgrimage will get you laid regardless of your sex. Pilgrim's Reward $5.00 HP2, no. 1752 1375-1425 Naughty Ring Brooch This indelicate little ring brooch is perfect for closing the neck of your chemise to keep out the riff raff (or for opening it to let 'em in). Naughty Ring Brooch $5.00 HP2, no. 1767 1350-1400 Dirty Money. Found near Salisbury, as was the chicken badge, which makes you wonder about the town in general. From the H.P. Blackmore Collection, given to the museum in 1931. Dirty Money $2.00/dozen "coins" Salisbury 3, no. 90-101 Probably 1380-1430 Full Purse This is an extra cool pendant that looks like a normal good luck purse charm on one side. But flip it over and you'll see there's more than one kind of luck involved! Full Purse $6.00 HP2, no. 1768 c. 1400 Ape With Pestle. Probably a joke about physicians and the probability that their compounds would actually cure you. Many English and Dutch versions of this brooch are known. Ape with a Pestle $5.00 PSSB, no. 308d, restored. And compare Salisbury, no. 304   Louise in Flight. Hey, if the dickie bird can fly, why not Louise? Louise in Flight $5.00 HP2, no. 1771 1375-1425 Little Mr. M. Another visual pun on the M-brooches - perhaps not quite so aggressive as his larger brother - certainly not so well endowed! Little Mr. M $5.00 HP1, no. 736 1325-1375 Regina Terris. Carried here by her worshippers as a cult figure, Louise stands as a visual pun on iconic religious images. I used to think she stood in for the Blessed Virgin in a mandorla, but I'm coming to be convinced of the vulvar identity of the wounds of Christ (Martha Easton, forthcoming). In any case, a great parade! Regina Terris $5.00 HP1, no. 652 1375-1425 Braies. There's just nothing like wearing your underpants on your hat! Braies $5.00 HP1, no. 626 1375-1425
