Crown Brooch (perhaps St. Edward the Confessor)

$5.00

Crown brooches are quite common in archeological finds; they may be pilgrim signs for some kingly saint or just refer to the idea of royalty. The English brooch this is copied after is attributed to the pilgrimage to the shrine of St. Edward the Confessor, at Winchester, and dated late in the 14th or early in the 15th century.
