Description
This pilgrim's token shows Saint Symeon of the Wondrous Mountain (d. 592) on top of the column that he used as a hermitage. Below stand his disciple Conon and his mother Martha. Above, two angels crown him for his ascetic exploits. The other side of the medallion carries a cross. Such medallions were given to pilgrims to the shrine of Saint Symeon, located close to Antioch on the Orontes, modern-day Antakya in Turkey.
