Title
Medieval : 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 (Spencer, 1990 (part 2), p. 86).

This example dates to between c. 1350-1530. All of the ampulla survives. Both side lugs remain. The front of the flask features a eight-petaled flower. The reverse of the flask has been decorated with cross-hatched circle, with a letter h in the centre.

The ampulla weighs 43.3g. Similar examples can be seen in Spencer, 1990 (part 2), p. 86, figs. 171-3.
