Description: | The lower half of a lead ampulla, cast with radiating ridges on one side in the form of a scallop shell. The other side appears to be undecorated although it is slightly damaged and obscured by soil. Ampullae containing holy water were common pilgrimage souvenirs and the scallop shell was widely used for English and continental pilgrimage sites. This type of shell is Spencer's Type II scallop (Spencer 1990, 59).
