Description: | Lead Ampulla, length 49mm width 29mm, thickness 14mm, weight 52.38g. Scallop shell design, with a long neck. The neck of the vessel is complete and is 25mm long, most examples end to be rolled at the tip in order to keep that contents in the vessel, where as this example has bee plugged with clay. At the base of the neck are the remains of a handle/suspension loop on either side, both have been truncated at the base. The main body of the vessel expands into a scallop shell design with a series of expanding horizontal lines on one side and a series of chevrons with a line down the centre on the other, this second side has a zigzag border at the base of the neck. The artefact has a creamy surface which is a coating of lead oxide, but with the exception of the missing handles is in excellent condition.
