Description: | Lead ampulla. The top of the neck is broken off and the opening is crimped closed. The handles have broken off, but would have projected from the top of the shell, rather than the neck. The obverse bears a scallop shell motif (Salisbury Type I), and the reverse a quartered shield surrounded by a wreath or double-corded semicircle. The shield has a cross pattee in the top right quarter, a sun(?) in the top left, the letter I in the bottom left and ? in the bottom right quarter. This may be a genuine coat of arms rather than simply a decorative motif. Length 35.89mm, width 36.88mm, thickness 9.42mm, weight 36.59g.
