Description: | Medieval lead pilgrim's ampulla of 14th to 16th century dateThe ampulla is fragmentary, missing one face and the side loops (with a length of 52.3mm and a weight of 20.5g). The mouth is expanded (with a width of 22.9mm). Both suspension loops have been lost but remnants survive on the damaged neck. The obverse face is badly corroded but the remnants of ribbing are discernible, describing the scallop-shell motif and representing pilgrimage. The ribs appear to have been fine and widely-spaced, probably of Spencer's (1990, p 59) Type II. The sides of the obverse face are bevelled to the edge (producing a body diameter of 31.5mm and a maximum surviving thickness of 7.8mm). The reverse face has largely been lost and no surviving decoration is now evident on the surviving part. The original surface has largely been lost and the ampulla now has a pale grey to white surface.
