Beautiful collection of pilgrimage and secular lead-tin signs from the late Middle Ages. The metal alloy is extraordinarily well preserved. The items come from two old Dutch collections, all discovered in the 1980s/90s at the site of villages submerged by water.

Objects measure between 2 and 6 cm.
