An incomplete lead alloy ampulla of the Medieval period dating from c. AD 1200 - c. AD 1400. Around 50% of the ampulla is present, consisting of the rounded base. The designs on both sides are unclear, one is possibly a cross with decorative cross hatching on each arm. The other may be a crown above a cross hatched heart. The ampulla is a mid grey colour with an even surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil has resulted in a loss of some of the original surface detail. Ampullae were used as a flask to hold holy water, becoming a souven…
