"402371","YORYM-013842","PAS4C6013840014D1","AMPULLA","","","51.1","","28.3","","","1","","","MEDIEVAL","1350","1530","A very fine example of a cast lead ampulla. Ampullae were an important kind of pilgrim souvenir in the medieval period. They were designed to contain a dose of thaumaturgic water, which would have been given to the pilgrims at the shrines and holy wells (Spencer, 1990 (part 2), p. 86).


This example dates to between circa 1350-1530. Most of the ampulla survives; only part of the rim has been slightly damaged and one of the loops is missing, due to a break.  One surface of the flask is decorated with a raised scallop-shell design resembling the common cockle, formed from raised, radiating lines. Above the lines is a basic, linear crown. The other surface features the same raised scallop-shell design, formed from raised, radiating lines. There is a secondary semi-circle at the base, also decorated with raised lines. Around the neck of the ampulla on both surfaces there is a pair of parallel raised lines, with vertical or diagonal lines inbetween.


The suspension loops are rounded with a slight point. Similar examples can be seen in Spencer, 1990 (part 2), p. 86, figs. 171-3.","","","2010-08-09 15:41:08","2010-08-09 15:44:00","4","","","2010-06-01","","","","","1","","1","1","","","1","1","","law","Liz Andrews-Wilson","YORYM","law","Liz Andrews-Wilson","Lead","","","","Cast","","Incomplete","","","MEDIEVAL","POST MEDIEVAL","","Metal detector","","Mrs Liz Andrews-Wilson","","Mrs Liz Andrews-Wilson","NORTH YORKSHIRE","","HARROGATE","","","","","SE2664","SE26SE","","","","","","Markington with Wallerthwaite","From Map","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","",
