Description |
English: Cast lead pilgrim ampulla or holy water flask, almost rectangular in shape, with a short neck flattened closed to seal it. The ampulla is slightly waisted with angular loops, on either side at this point, to suspend the flask from a cord around the pilgrim's neck. It is decorated on one face with fleur de lis and lattice within a shield, surmounted by a two concentric circles with radiating lines between them. On the opposite face there are four fleurs de lis beneath an arch of lattice work which has triangles and crescents above it, perhaps part of a crown. These ampullae were bought by pilgrims from pilgrimage sites, and contained thaumaturgic (miracle-working) liquids such as holy water or water from sacred springs. They were popular souvenirs from around 1175 until the early 14th Century, when pilgrim badges became more favoured, but they continued to be made, some smaller to be worn as badges, and some more robust, functional and stereotyped, into the 15th century.
Spencer (1990) illustrates a similar ampulla with a crown, lis on a hatched background on page 89, Fig.181, which is dated, along with the group from Salisbury, from c.1350-1530. |
