Amiens

This badge shows the head of St John the Baptist on a plate being supported by a figure flanked by two others holding candles. Badges of this type were sold to pilgrims visiting Amiens Cathedral, where a relic fragment of the skull of St John the Baptist was housed. Pilgrims' badges were a symbol of the relationship between the saint and the pilgrim who had undertaken the journey to the relic and were conventionally worn on the individual's hat or bag.

[A badge very like this one was found in Perth, Scotland](http://www.bbc.co.uk/ahistoryoftheworld/objects/nMwqDkEfSV6DUUEldDLCXA). John the Baptist was the town's patron saint.

该徽章以餐盘承载的施洗者圣约翰（St John the Baptist）首级为核心视觉元素，由一名侍从托举，两侧另有二人手持蜡烛相伴。此类徽章曾面向前往亚眠大教堂（Amiens Cathedral）的朝圣者发售，该教堂内曾珍藏施洗者圣约翰头骨的圣物残片。朝圣徽章（pilgrims' badges）是圣徒与专程前来参拜圣物的朝圣者之间联结的象征，传统上通常佩戴于个人的帽檐或行囊之上。

[一枚与该藏品高度相似的徽章于苏格兰珀斯出土](http://www.bbc.co.uk/ahistoryoftheworld/objects/nMwqDkEfSV6DUUEldDLCXA)，施洗者圣约翰亦是珀斯的主保圣人（patron saint）。
