Knights and Horses Pilgrims' Tokens (5 Fragments)

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts five fragments of pilgrims' tokens, likely made of metal, possibly lead or pewter, with a predominantly gray color and some brown and red spots. The fragments are arranged on a light gray surface with a slightly textured appearance. The fragments appear to be parts of tokens featuring knights and horses. One fragment shows a knight's head facing left. Another fragment depicts a horse's head and neck. Other fragments show parts of horses' bodies. The background is a plain light grey color. The overall appearance of the image suggests that it is a photograph of an archaeological or historical artifact.
