AMPULLA
Description
English:

Medieval lead ampulla of 14th to 16th century date

The ampulla is fragmentary, represented by basal body section. The obverse face appears to have been convex and was decorated with a compass-drawn floral device, with one of the petals or leaves survives and approximately half of a second. The leaves contain a central midrib and probably flanking diagonal ribs but is the now heavily-worn. The area outside of the leaves is enhanced with crosshatching. The reverse face is now concave, probably as a result of damage. Cross-hatching is evident near the edges and the central device is incomplete, heavily-worn and damaged, however it is possible to suggest a curving arc, possibly the lower part of a letter ‘S’. Otherwise details on the ampulla are indeterminate.

Dimensions: surviving length: 18.1mm; surviving width: 26.7mm; maximum surviving thickness: 6.7mm; weight: 9.2g
