pilgrim sign crowned heart amours valenciennes 14th century silvered bronze Ketels - pannen en kookstellen This kettle hook is idealThis sign in the shape of a crowned heart with the banderole text 'Amours' is modeled on a French pilgrim sign from the period 1350 1424, which is now kept in the Muse des Beaux Arts in Valenciennes. The inscription 'Amours' (love) appears more often on medieval signs and indicates use as a love gift. The heart symbol itself goes back to stylized fig and ivy leaves from ancient times, and appeared increasingly in love scenes from the 12th 13th century
