Description: | A lead ampulla, or holy water flask, of c. 1350-c. 1530 (see Spencer 1990: 58). The chamber is sub-circular in plan, tapering into the narrower neck, which has vertical sides and is undecorated. The chamber bears relief-moulded decoration on both sides. On one side is an unidentified central symbol with a letter 'I' to the right. This design is contained within a raised circular border. The other side takes the form of a scallop shell, with numerous moulded ridges and grooves. On each side, at the point where the chamber meets the neck, is the remains of a pierced lug. The artefact is bent and corroded. It measures 52.8mm long, 28.1mm wide and 8.3mm thick. The weight is 42.32g.
