Description: | Incomplete cast lead ampulla now broken and in two pieces. All the breaks appear to be old. Medieval, probably fifteenth century. If the ampulla was complete the estimated length is c.55mm and the estimated width is c.30mm. Weight 27.58g. On the obverse of both pieces are raised ridges which form part of an escallop shell design. At one side of the upper half are the vestigal remains of a suspension loop. Both parts of the reverse are undecorated. The surfaces have a coating of lead oxide. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Frank Basford | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
