Description: | An incomplete, damaged and distorted pouch-shaped lead ampulla most likely to be medieval and circa 15th century in date. The upper third and part of one side of this ampulla survive the rest is missing due to old breaks. It measures 45mm in surviving height and 35mm in width. Two opposing triangular integral lugs survive as does some decoration on the upper open end of the ampulla. On one face there is a moulded lozenge shape with two parallel longitudinal within it, there are also longitudinal grooves radiating downwards to form the now largely missing 'scallop shell' motif on the main body of the pouch. On the other face there is a moulded transverse band of decoration running in between the two opposing lugs, it is rectangular in outline with moulded zig zags within its borders. There is also a trace of a circular moulding along the side of the ampulla which now survives.
