English: A lead or lead alloy ampulla. In plan it is an elongated sub- semi circle with a narrowed broken upper edge. The break is not recent. Both faces of the ampulla are decorated, but one face the design is very feint and indistinguishable. The other face is decorated with a scallop design. The sides of the lateral edges of the remains of integral loops. The surface of the ampulla has developed a light cream/brown coloured shiny patina. Its length from the upper edge to the apex of the base is 39.11mm, the maximum width across the lower portion is 46.23mm, and the thickness of the base of the ampulla is 7.05mm. It weighs 37.8g.

Ampullae were used as a flask to hold holy water, becoming a souvenir of a pilgrimage; they generally 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 scallop design was the emblem of St. James the Greater from the 12^th century, but became the generic symbol of pilgrimage itself, therefore representing all pilgrim saints and for all pilgrims (ibid: 41).
