Description: | An incomplete lead medieval (AD c.1300-c.1500) ampulla, missing its top half which has been sliced off. Overall, the ampulla measures 25.2mm long, 32.5mm wide and 10.3mm thick. It weighs 23.73g. The surviving part of the ampulla is semi-circular and is decorated on both sides. The front face is decorated like a scallop shell (Spencer's Type II). The other face appears to have a saltire cross with letters or symbols in each angle. This style of ampulla usually dates from the 14th to early 16th centuries (Spencer 1990:57-62).
