Description: | A cast lead alloy ampulla dating to the high medeival period. The main body of the ampulla is the only surviving element. Originally the ampulla would have been flask-shaped with a narrow neck that could be pinched closed and two small suspension loops either side. The main body of the ampulla is decorated either side; one side has a scallop shell that is the badge of St James of Compostela in Spain, and the pilgrim's symbol adopted at Canterbury. The opposite side has an octofoil with central pellet with central pellet within a double-lined florate circle. This ampulla is of Spencer (1998) Type 2 and date to between AD 1250 and 1450.
