A 7thC gold+garnet pendant found in Northants, w/ a scallop-like garnet similar to that seen at Street House, Yorks: https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/253064 …pic.twitter.com/7qEgnheqru
Dr Green, would the scallop shape have any religious significance?
Symbol popular w/ both pagans+Christians in Late Antiquity; could be chance, but def poss, esp as now have 2 examples from 7thC England >
> (n.b. however, not yet used as pilgrim symbol, worth pointing out: scallop shell becomes badge of St James at Compostela in perhaps 9thC)
Thank you. I never knew that the scallop was a pilgrimage symbol that early!
