| Summary: | Pilgrimage in Provence and from Provence is well documented from written sources but also from the artefacts pilgrims would acquire in the sanctuaries they visited. Most of those artefacts are badges and phials made of tin, lead, or an alloy of these two metals. The study of these metallic elements reveals the diversity of moulds as well as the long use of the motifs throughout time. It also contributes to a better understanding of the reputation of the sanctuaries and its geographical extent. At the end of the 15th and in the 16th c., the shape and ornemental motifs of some of the badges evolve, foreshadowing the apparition of the copper alloy medallions. The analysis of the context of discovery reveals the diversity in the objects’ symbolism. |
