Description: | A cast lead-alloy medieval pilgrim's ampulla, worn and flattened as a result of old damage. This is a conventional flask-shaped example with a pair of extant integral suspension loops which are sub-triangular in shape. The front face seems to feature a scallop shell design (see notes, below), emblematic of St James the Great and duly of pilgrimage in general. The back face features a pair of concentric rings with zigzag motifs within. Within these circles is a further, indistinguishable, design. Later medieval, 14th or 15th century in date | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Webley, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
