Description: | Lead alloy ampulla fragment. Hollow cast bag-shaped vessel of flattened profile, torn across its lower neck and upper body. One side bears fauint relicts of a decorative scheme of crosshatch confined by a curving upper border; the other bears a possibly lentoid figure with a cross against a cross-hatched ground. In both cases the ornament is discernible only on the lower part of the object. Patinated overall. The tearing of the ampulla may suggest it has been 'used', perhaps to enhance soil fertility. Suggested date: Late Medieval, 1350-1500.Height: 38.6mm, Width: 31.3mm, Thickness (wall): c.1mm, Thickness (overall): 6.8mm, Weight: 24.67gms.
