{"product_id":"pelgrimsbadge-varken-met-doedelzak","title":"Pilgrim badge pig with bagpipes, silvered bronze","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis medieval badge depicts a pig playing bagpipes, similar to a minstrel. The original artifact, dating from 1375–1425 AD, is part of the Van Beuningen Collection, as noted by Koldeweij. Our high-quality replica measures 4.2 x 2.5 cm and is available in silvered bronze. On the back is a sturdy pin, making the badge suitable as a brooch as well.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMedieval images of pigs playing bagpipes are relatively common, particularly in fourteenth- and fifteenth-century England. The precise link between pigs and bagpipes remains unclear, although both were associated with themes of sexual sin in medieval culture. The shape of the bagpipe, with a bag and pipes, could be interpreted as a phallic symbol.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnother possible association stems from the similarity between the shrill sound of the bagpipe and the squealing of a pig. This humorous and satirical badge emphasizes the medieval preference for combining entertainment with moral commentary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Celtic WebMerchant","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51142333858120,"sku":"07_PZ_Bagpipe-Pig_sip","price":7900.0,"currency_code":"HUF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0891\/2892\/7560\/files\/DSC08584.jpg?v=1763717883","url":"https:\/\/www.celticwebmerchant.com\/en-hu\/products\/pilgrim-badge-pig-with-bagpipes","provider":"Celtic WebMerchant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
