Description: | A Medieval, lead or lead-alloy, ampulla fragment. The object consists of the lower section only of a bag-shaped ampulla, the upper section having been lost to an old break. There is an area of the lower section also missing along one side, but this is a fresh cut and probably due to farm machinery. The ampulla is decorated on each side, one resembling a shell with raised lines running down its length and the other being a letter W within two, concentric circles. This may refer to the shrine of Our Lady at Walsingham, or may be a generic mark for Virgo Virginium being a double-V rather than a W.
