Title
Medieval ampulla
Description
English: An incomplete medieval lead ampulla, dating from c.1350-1530. The ampulla has a rounded chamber, which narrows at the neck then widens to the opening, this part is rectangular in shape. One side of the ampulla is almost completely missing, the worn break is across the rounded chamber. Either side of the neck are the suspension loops or side-lugs. One of these is complete and a v shape, the other is now worn and broken, only a small part remains. The ampulla is decorated bifacially, on the broken side there is cross hatching, the other is has scallop decoration which covers the rounded chamber. The ampulla is a yellow white colour, with patches of grey. The ampulla measures 49.9mm in length, 28.4mm in width, and 3.2mm in thickness. It weighs 36.56g.

The scallop shell decoration is the badge of St James of Compostela, and also the symbol for pilgrimage as scallop shells were used as badges. Spencer 1990, page 59.
