Meaning: st.Sebastian badge. Probably pilgrim souvenir from Rome (in catacoms at Via Appia there is a tomb of “San Sebastian”) Due to the saints popularity it may be also lucky charm. St.Sebastian was a martyr. Tied to a tree he was “executed” by arrow shots. Proclaimed patron of archers, and also all people using this weapon (like town guilds for example) This pattern is a replica of finding from ‘s-Hertogenbosch (Holland)
