Title |
Medieval ampulla |
||
Description |
English: A lead alloy ampulla or holy water container from the medieval period. The ampulla is sub-circular with a wide flared neck at the top. There would have been attachment loops or lugs, one on each side of the neck, but only faint traces of these survive. The decoration is not clear enough to be identified. There are radiating lines round the lower end of the body which may represent a scallop shell, a common emblem of pilgrimage. The ampulla is 44.7mm long, 29.7mm wide and 10.1mm 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. |
