介绍（中）	1170 年 12 月 29 日，大主教托马斯·贝克特在坎特伯雷大教堂惨遭谋杀，使他成为西方基督教世界最受尊敬的圣人之一，他的圣地立即成为朝圣地。这枚令人印象深刻的徽章展示了殉道圣徒的神殿，在 1538 年被亨利八世的专员掠夺之前。徽章上的金色结构是由大主教斯蒂芬·兰顿订购并于 1220 年 7 月 7 日投入使用的。这座坟墓由著名的科尔切斯特金匠沃尔特（Walter of Colchester）创建，支撑在四个海湾上，里面有托马斯·贝克特（Thomas Becket）穿着教会法衣的肖像。在这里，在它上面，是山墙神龛，在格子状的地面上镶嵌着珠宝，上面有两个船模，其中一个被损坏了。一个小人物指向一颗红宝石，据称是现存最大的红宝石，由法国国王于 1179 年赠送。在右边，另一个人物用绳索和滑轮举起神龛的盖子。这枚徽章是神社现存最好的视觉文件之一。它的准确性由大使、神职人员和神学家（如伊拉斯谟）的描述证明。徽章是我们对这位殉道者圣人周围图像的了解的重要补充，并加入了我们与他相关的无与伦比的物品收藏。
介绍（英）	The brutal murder of Archbishop Thomas Becket in Canterbury Cathedral on December 29, 1170, transformed him into one of the most venerated saints in Western Christendom, and his shrine instantly became a pilgrimage site. This impressed badge shows the shrine of the martyred saint before it was plundered by Henry VIII's commissioners in 1538. The golden structure, as seen on the badge was ordered by Archbishop Stephen Langton and dedicated on July 7, 1220. Created by the famed goldsmith Walter of Colchester, the tomb, supported on four bays, contained an effigy of Thomas Becket in ecclesiastical vestments. Here, raised above it, is the gabled shrine, encrusted with jewels on a trellis-like ground and surmounted by two ship models, one of which was damaged. A small figure points to a ruby, claimed to be the largest in existence and given in 1179 by the king of France. To the right another figure raises the cover of the shrine with ropes and a pulley. This badge is one of the best surviving visual documents of the shrine. Its accuracy is attested to by descriptions from ambassadors, clergy, and theologians, such as Erasmus. The badge is an important addition to our knowledge of the imagery surrounding this martyr-saint and joins our unrivaled collection of objects associated with him.
