Description: | Lead alloy Ampulla. Hollow cast bag shaped pilgrim badge, with snall angular loops at its neck. One side of the body bears radial ridges resembling those of a cockle shell. The other side bears a flat circular panel within a low rim, which is either very worn or, more likely, was never adorned in relief, and a horizontal moulded zone of diagonal vertical strokes in low relief between the side handles. These may be purely decorative, but could represent initials or letters of the invocation Ave Maria, or Hail Mary. The flared top of the ampulla is bent back and splayed, now lying on the ribbed side of the badge. Lightly patinated overall. Suggested date: Late Medieval, 1350-1500.Height (as found): 49.7mm, Width: 32.6mm, Thickness (wall): 1.3mm, Weight (with trapped soil): 57.77gms.
