Object type: AMPULLA
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Lancashire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A lead-alloy pilgrim's ampulla. The body is rounded and has no visible decorationon either side. Both handles are missing and the top has been broken off. What remains of the neck had been heavily damaged, pinched shut and folded in some places. Ampulla are known from the late 12th century as a popuar way of carrying a blessed item, in this case water, upon the person. Pilgrim badges in the early 14th century began to perform a similar function, but the use of ampullae is thought to have continued in use to the end of the 15th century.

Record ID: LVPL-2BE30D
Object type: VESSEL
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Knowsley
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete cast copper alloy leg, possibly from medieval or post-medieval cooking pot or cauldron. The leg has two moulded furrows running vertically down the front face. The reverse of the object is flat, and where the object may have joined on to the main vessel there is a third face which is concave to fit the face of the vessel. Cast coppor alloy vessels became popular from c. AD1100, and gradually passed out of use between 1700 and 1850, superseded by cast-iron pots and by saucepans designed for use on kitchen ranges.
