Description: | An incomplete medieval lead ampulla, with a damaged mouth, one side lug bent and the other missing. One face ha a scallop shell of Spencer's (1990) type II, and on the other face there is an R beneath a lily in a lily pot (see Spencer 1980, 16, no. 39). It measures 26 x 47mm. The R may stand for the Lady Richelde of Fervaques, the 'founder' of the shrine at Walsingham; the lily symbolises the Virgin's purity, and the scallop shell represents pilgrimage. It dates from the 15th-early 16th century.
