Description: | A cast lead ampulla of fourteenth to fifteenth century AD date. The bag or flask-shaped ampulla measures 50.1mm by 29.6mm by 6.5mm and weighs 48.24g. It is imcomplete apart from its 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 moulded W, for Walsingham (Norfolk), in the centre of the circular part, which is below another device, probably a crown. There is a crack across the ampulla in this area which make this unclear. | 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
