Description: | An incomplete Medieval lead ampulla that is missing one lug due to old breaks. The ampulla is pouch shaped with a neck and rim that has been folded over and flattened due to post-depositional damage. To one side is preserved a small triangular lug or handle and there are possible traces of moulded decoration but this is uncertain due to the object's current worn state. The lower half of the ampulla has moulded scalloped decoration on one side, while the other side has a central decorative motif surrounded by a border and possibly a ficitious legend. The central motif is largely illegible, although a possible V and two pellets can just be identified within an inner circle. It measures 36.96mm in surviving height, 34.38mm in width and weighs 36.74g. Ampullae such as this are Medieval in date belonging in the 14th-15th centuries AD.
