Unusual pilgrim’s ampulla found in Cheshire. An unusual lead pilgrim’s ampulla in the form of a relief-cast human face was found by Kevin Guest at Henhull, Cheshire and recorded by Nick Herepath (North West Finds Liaison Officer). The flabby cheeks, heavy brows and down-turned mouth lend a sad expression to the face; there appears to be a moustache and beard, but no hair. The suspension loops to either side form the ears, and give the face an almost comical appearance. The shape of the hat, with a low point to either side, suggests a sideways-turned mitre. Although this might suggest a representation of St Thomas of Canterbury, the face does not conform to those on St Thomas pilgrim badges. Also, there are no other known ampullae which take the form of the head of St Thomas. |
