Description: | Incomplete fragment of a cast lead alloy pilgrims ampulla of medieval date 1250-1500 AD. The fragment is irregular in both plan and cross section. The fragment consists of the lower part of the ampulla, it is broken at the neck of the flask and is pierced through the centre with an irregular shaped tare. Little of the design on the front face of the flask remains, a series of raised dots are present around the edge of the central tare. The flask fragment is a mid cream coloured grey colour, although heavily damaged the patina is relatively sound and the edges crisp suggesting little lateral movement in the plough soil. A direct parallel has not been found.The fragment measures 24.6mm length, 26.4mm width is a maximum of 4.9mm thick and weighs 11.23 grams
