| Scallop Shell. Because Santiago a Compostello was the quintessential
pilgrimage destination of the early Middle Ages, its souvenir - a scallop shell -
became symbolic of pilgrimage in general. The original of this little shell,
probably actually was from Santiago, the pilgrim badges from which are
found all over Europe.
