Description: | An almost complete cast lead flask shaped medieval ampulla. The lower part of the ampulla has a rounded base, which tapers to a midway point to a cylindrical neck, which has an open end. On either side of the midway point is a semi-circular integral loop, one of which is flattened to the neck. One face of the ampulla base has a six-petal flower or star with three pellets in each section. The other face has scallop-shell motif with a cockleshell design of fine grooves and smooth edges of which Spencer classifies as Type II (1990, 590). The length of the ampulla is 61.7mm, the diameter of the base is 34.2mm, the thickness is 9.3mm and the weight is 60.63g. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
