Description: | A lead alloy ampulla dating from about 1400 AD. It is in the form of a costrel, but only half survives. One end of the rectangular body and one side of the neck are missing. The body is decorated with shields on both faces. One one side is a shield with a bend and a charge in the top left corner, and the next shield (of which half is missing) seems to have a double cross saltire. On the other face is another shield with a double cross saltire. The ampulla is very similar to numbers 214d and 215 on page 206 of Spencer (1998) Pilgrim Souvenirs and Secular Badges. The loop handle bwteen the body and the neck is broken.
