Title |
Medieval ampulla |
||
Description |
English: A lead alloy ampulla dating from the medieval period. The ampulla is sub-circular with a flat top which appears to have been cut. There was probably a neck which is now missing. One of the neck loops survives but is squashed so it is not open anymore. There is no visible decoration on the body. There is a circular pierced hole in one face. The ampulla is 37.7mm long, 31.6mm wide and 14.4mm thick. Ampullae were used as a flask to hold holy water, becoming a souvenir of a pilgrimage; they date to the late 12th to 15th centuries (Spencer, B. 1990, Pilgrim Souvenirs and Secular Badges, Salisbury and South Wiltshire Museum p, 57 ff). The origin of this ampulla is not known. The hole and the cut neck may have been to release the contents. |
