| Title |
ampulla illustration By Dom Andrews |
||
| 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 (Spencer, 1990 (part 2), p. 86). 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. 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 has been decorated with a shield. The shield has a large long cross over the top of it and two smaller diagonal crosses within the shield itself. The long cross in effect divides the shield into two. The ampulla has two rounded loops for suspension, both of which survive. One of the loops looks as if it has not been finished, since the central portion of the loop has not been perforated. The ampulla weighs 51.8g. Similar examples can be seen in Spencer, 1990 (part 2), p. 86, figs. 171-3. |
