Title
Medieval: Complete costrel-shaped ampulla
Description
English: A complete lead alloy costrel-shaped ampulla of Medieval dating (Mid 13th to 14th Centuries AD).

The ampulla takes the shape of a cylindrical costrel. It has a cylindrical ribbed body, with circular ends. Crosshatching is visible between each of the ribs. The neck is located centrally, with only one of two angular suspension handles surviving. One end bears an eight petalled flower, within a circular border.

It measures 33 mm in length, 49 mm in length and 35 mm thick. It weighs 58 g.

Costrel-shaped ampullas took their inspiration shape wise from earthenware and / or leather costrels (traveller's water bottles), which were available in England and abroad from the mid 13th Century AD. Several of this style ampulla were recovered from the London Waterfront site, Bull Wharf, Thames Exchange, Swan Lane and Billingsgate (Spencer, 2010, p71). Several similar shaped ampullas have been recorded on the PAS database, including: LIN-BA47C6; DEV-51C1D2; LIN-C1EB16 and LVPL489.
