Our Lady of Rocamadour Badge
$5.00
Badges of this form celebrating Our Lady of Rocamadour were among the very earliest produced and are known from the 1160’s up to 1500. In contemporary documents they are called sportelles or sportulae (in Latin) from sporta, the pilgrim’s scrip or purse. The original from which this one is copied is no earlier than 1300 and probably no later than 1400; closer dating is not possible.
