Description: | Apparantly complete Late Medieval lead pilgrim's ampulla, the crimped edge of which is rather worn. In shape, the rounded end is roughly the same length as that of the expanding neck. Decoration is in the form of moulded raised ribs. One face of the ampulla depicts a cross ?within a shield (which is rather more gourd- or ampulla-shaped!), the top of which is bound by a band of cross-hatching. The other face is rather more worn but appears to show a cross made of two single lines at right angles '+' with four heart-shaped leaves radiating from the centre, each over its line, which can be seen clearly through it. The line that extends towards the crimped edge has two short diagonal lines joining it, to form an arrow. There is possibly an arrow at the other end of this particular line, though this could be wear. The other line is too worn to tell. Measures 49x29mm and weighs 35.21g. The neck expands from 24mm (just below where the lugs are placed) to 29mm at the crimped end. The rounded end is also 29mm wide. Cf style type, figs.180-187 in: Spencer, B. (1990), Salisbury & South Wiltshire Museum Medieval Catalogue Part 2 , Salisbury & South Wiltshire Museum, Salisbury. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Hinds, Katie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
