Description: | A medieval lead ampulla with the neck flaring to a damaged and distorted rim and only one handle or lug, also squashed. Decorated on the reverse with a Spencer 1990 Type 2 scallop shell and on the front with an H-like motif on a cross-hatched ground within two concentric circles and below, at the base of the neck, a pair of transverse lines enclosing one or more annulets. Very closely paralleled by two examples from Bardney and Panton in Lincolnshire (PAS LIN-5064D2 and LIN-797325). The significance of the 'H' is unknown. The object dates from the 14th-early 16th century.
