Watch List notes:

Anonymous (17th century), Christ and a Martyr, oval bronze-gilt locket in the form of a box medal, with image of Christ facing left and the lid with image of a martyr wearing a friar's habit and with a dagger embedded in his skull, 43mm x 38mm x 13.6mm, very fine with loop for suspension, very rare. The identity of the friar martyr may be the Dominican St Peter of Verona (1206-52) or the Carmelite St Angelus of Jerusalem (1185-1220) both of whose attributes include a bladed instrument embedded in the skull. The bust of Christ is taken from a late 16th century medal (Attwood 196). Hill noted that it is the earliest medallic image of Christ wearing the Crown of Thorns.
