Title |
Two views of a Medieval ampulla. |
||
Description |
English: The object is a cast lead or lead alloy ampulla. 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 ampulla has a sub-circular lower half in plan, and the upper half, which is integral to the lower half is a sub-rectangle in plan. Where the lower and upper portions meet, on one edge is an integral triangular lug. Originally there was probably a second lug on the opposite side, but there is a recent scrape here, which maybe the cause of it being missing. In profile the flask is relatively straight.The surface of the ampulla has developed a mottled beige coloured patina which is slightly shiny. The length of the ampulla from the upper edge to the apex of the base is 59.22mm, the maximum width across the lower portion is 33.3mm. The thickness of the base of the ampulla is 8.63mm. It weighs 56.66. |
