Description: | A cast lead ampulla of fourteenth to fifteenth century date. The bag or flask-shaped ampulla measures 46.1mm by 28.9mm by 11mm and weighs 32.4g. It is near complete, with the exception of the damaged opening and its missing side lugs, only the stubs of which remain. One side of the lower (circular) part is decorated with moulded vertical lines, in imitation of a scallop shell. The other side has a cross-hatched circle with a central ring or U. There is a short crack on this side of the ampulla which has possibly obscured part of this motif.
