A Wikipedia article on James the Just, recording that "the Catholic tradition holds that this James is to be identified with James, son of Alphaeus, and James the Less," listing "fuller's club" among his traditional attributes, and quoting Hegesippus's account that a fuller struck him on the head with the club used to beat out cloth.

Reliability Tier3
A crowd-edited tertiary reference, used here to confirm the fuller's club as James the Just's traditional martyrdom attribute and the Catholic identification with James the Less, which the article itself also notes is disputed by modern scholarship; independently corroborated by the Victoria and Albert Museum's own catalogue description of an actual 1440 to 1460 panel carrying the same club.
