This pilgrim insignia depicts three phalluses carrying a crowned vulva in procession and was made after a late medieval insignia worn from 1375-1450 AD.
The historical predecessor of this obscure-erotic pilgrim insignia was found in Bruges , Belgium, and is in the collection of the Van Beuningen family.
The pilgrim insignia with phallic procession is made of high quality bronze.
On the reverse side - as in the medieval originals - there is a wide pin, which allows the pilgrim's insignia to be pinned on the garment, as was customary in the Middle Ages.
In addition, there is also an eyelet on the back so that the phallic procession can be worn decoratively as a pendant around the neck.
The obhrouble-erotic pilgrim insignia measures 5 × 3.8 cm.
The phallic procession is a so-called mocking procession, i.e. a mocking depiction of a procession of relics. This genre includes various marginal illustrations in medieval manuscripts of the 14th century, in which animals in procession assume the roles of humans.
The crowned vulva in this erotic insignia satirically parodies the Virgin Mary in a crude depiction of the so-called Vrouw Minne, the Middle-Earth equivalent of Venus.
