Description: | Incomplete and damaged cast lead ampulla of Medieval date, probably fourteenth or fifteenth century (AD 1300 ? AD 1500). Length 42mm, width 28mm and maximum thickness 11mm. Weight 27.85g. The body of the ampulla is sub-circular in plan, about 28mm in diameter. It is dented and damaged on both faces. Consequently, it is not clear which face is the obverse or reverse. The neck is also damaged and incomplete. Both of the suspension loops are intact. However, one is bent flat against the neck. One face has the remains of decoration which forms a raised grid pattern and due to wear and corrosion the full extent of the design is unclear. The other face also has the remains of decoration. This design consists of raised linear lines although the full extent of this design is also unclear due to corrosion. The piece is in poor condition and the breaks are old. | 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 | Temporal: | 1300
