Crude-Erotic medieval pendant with pilgrim vulva.

Here you can buy a unique medieval pendant that was made after a badge from the late Middle Ages showing a vulva on pilgrimage.

This remarkable medieval pendant was made after a historical find from the late Middle Ages, which was found in the Netherlands and dates from 1375 to 1425 AD. It is a typical representative of the crude-erotic profane badges of the late Middle Ages.

Link to the historical model...

So-called obscene-erotic badges were very common during the late Middle Ages in Northern Europe, especially in Belgium and the Netherlands, and served for general amusement in the course of the carnival season. Often these medieval badges mockingly took religious themes and depicted them in a sexual context.

On the pilgrim badge, a vulva is shown as a verbalisation of a pilgrim, depicted in great detail with wooden shoes on her feet and a pilgrim's hat on her head, carrying a rosary in one hand and a pilgrim's staff with a phallic end in the other.
There are several badges known from the Middle Ages with this depiction.

The medieval pilgrim's badge has an eyelet on the back for carrying around the neck or for attachment to clothing. The vulva can also be attached very well to the robe at the various openings. A black leather strap in 1 m length is included.

The "Pilgrim Vulva" badge measures 3.2 x 2 cm and thus corresponds exactly to the size of the historical find.

You can buy this pendant in bronze or in real silver-plated.
Alternatively, also available in 925 sterling silver (Please note the delivery time).

The obscene-erotic pilgrim badges of the late Middle Ages are a subgroup of the so-called profane badges, which include not only the vulgar depiction of personified genitalia such as a riding, pilgrim or winged vulva, but also numerous depictions of phalli in many different variations.

The most likely interpretation for the frequent depiction of vulvas and phalluses on the profane badges of the late Middle Ages is that attempts were made to defuse sexuality through comedy and that these are to be understood either as joking gifts of love or as communication-enhancing means in the course of gender initiation, which were especially popular during the debauched carnival season.
