Description: | A cast lead-alloy medieval pilgrim's ampulla, worn and flattened as a result of old damage. This is a conventional flask-shaped example with a pair of extant integral suspension loops which are sub-triangular in shape. The front face seems to feature a scallop shell design (see notes, below), emblematic of St James the Great and duly of pilgrimage in general. The back face features a pair of concentric rings with zigzag motifs within. Within these circles is a further, indistinguishable, design.
