Description: | Lead ampulla, side lugs bent, one face decorated with a scallop shell of Spencer's (1990) type II, and on the other face an R beneath a lily in lily pot (compare with Spencer 1980, 16, no.39). Dimensions of >25 x 58mm. 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. Dates to the 15th-early 16th century.
