Ampulla |
||
| Description |
English: A cast lead ampulla. Ampullae were an important kind of pilgrim souvenir in the medieval period. They were designed to contain a dose of thaumaturgic water, which would have been given to the pilgrims at the shrines and holy wells. This example dates to between c. 1350-1530. Almost all of the ampulla survives; only part of the rim has been slightly damaged and therefore some of the rim is missing. Also, one of the lugs has broken off the side of the ampulla. This ampulla has a Type II scallop-shell design. Type II scallop-shell designs resemble the common cockle, with fine grooves and smooth edges. The front of the flask has this type of design. The reverse of the flask is undecorated but a deep circular impression has been pressed into the centre of the flask on the reverse, causing the back plate to be pressed in.Similar examples can be seen in Spencer, 1990 (part 2), p. 85, figs. 165-170, no: 170. |
