Description: | Lead AlloyAmpulla or Pilgrim Badge. Cast cockle-shell-shaped flask, with ribbing on one side, and a circular indentation on the other; this was perhaps reserved for a figurative motif, though if so, it is now lost. The upper part, which may have included handles for attachment and a flask neck, is also lost; the upper part has been torn away, possibly deliberately. The form was long-lived, as the Compostella cockle-shell badge was widely adopted as a generic pilgrim sign. Suggested date: Medieval, 1200-1500.Height: 35.3mm, Width: 39.2mm, Thickness: 8.4mm, Weight: 33.36gms.
