An incomplete, broken and distorted Medieval lead ampulla. It is estimated that approximately one quarter of the ampulla, half of the top section, is missing as a result of damage. The other upper quarter has been bent out to the side, causing distortion to the original shape. The lower half (just less than half) of the object is preserved in better condition. One side is decorated with moulded relief. Two semi-circles are visible and fill the lower part of this side. These semi-circles are filled with small lozenges (2.5mm x 2.1mm apex to apex).
