One unpierced side lug remains, the other is missing due to an old break, now worn. On one face of the pouch there are radiating lines representing a scallop shell. On the other there is a central moulded motif which consists of a curving line which terminates in an arrow, which is pointed upwards towards the neck of the ampulla, around this there is a background and border of cross-hatched grooves. | 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: | 1400
