Title
Medieval Ampulla
Description
English: An incomplete medieval (1150-1500) lead pilgrim's ampulla, missing its neck and side lugs. The body of the ampulla widens towards the centre, and then narrows creating a circular shape. The top of the ampulla is broken off in an old break. The obverse is decorated with a large crown, with a raised cross-hatching surrounding it. On the reverse is a raised cross with a pellet in each quarter, surrounded by a raised circle. This is possibly representing a wheel. Round this is more raised cross-hatching. The ampulla is a grey colour, with orange patches of corrosion. The ampulla is 35.1mm in length, 31.1mm in width, and is 4.7mm at the maximum thickness. The ampulla weighs 20.05g.

The ampulla is similar to one in Spencer 1990, 61, 139, although the wheel on the reverse is a different design.
