Pilegrimsspor fra Tynset: En detektorfunnet blymedaljong med kristne motiver

A lead medallion discovered by a metal detectorist in Tynset, Norway, has been identified as a late medieval pilgrim badge, likely originating from Aachen Cathedral in Germany. The medallion features Christian iconography, including the apocalyptical Mary with Christ and a passion and resurrection scene, which are comparable to known European pilgrim badges. Comparative analysis with Norwegian and European amulets suggests its connection to Aachen, one of Europe's most significant pilgrimage sites during the medieval period. The study also explores how such amulets may have influenced their bearers, potentially offering insights into the religious practices and beliefs of Norwegian pilgrims.
