Description: | Incomplete Medieval lead ampulla, broken and distorted, lower part missing, band of oblique hatching in relief runs horizontally on both faces between remains of twin lugs, one face with a vertical line of three strokes above the band and the remains of an elaborate crown below within a border of oblique lines, the other face with a W above the band and a scallop-shaped moulding below. 33 x (at least) 38mm. The crown is often found on ampullae in combination with a range of other motifs for Our Lady, Queen of Heaven. Combined with a W here it may represent the golden crown given by Henry III and worn by the statue of Our Lady at Walsingham (see note in Spencer 1980, 16-7, no.40).
