Description: | Almost complete cast lead ampulla of Medieval, thirteenth or fifteenth century date (AD 1200 - AD 1500). Length 40mm, maximum width, measured across the loops, 40mm, maximum thickness 8.5mm. Weight 33.22g. The weight includes some soil within the piece. The undecorated pouch-shaped ampulla is distorted and flattened and has small fractures on one face and one edge. From the rounded base, the sides flare outwards and the inwards to form an indistinct neck which has a width of 31mm. The integral suspension loops, about 11mm in length, are attached to the neck, one at each side. These are D-shaped in profile, as viewed from the side; and sub-circular in cross-section, although one has been flattened slightly. The neck appears to have been crimped in order to contain the holy water. The piece is damaged and in poor condition.
