Lead ampulla dating around AD1250-1500.

Thanks for looking.....Doug.

"Ampulla's were used in the annual springtime ’Blessing the Fields’ ceremony in which the Holy Water they contained was sprinkled on the ground to give prayer for a good harvest.

Having served this purpose the believe was that the ampulla were discarded.

**There is a suggestion that the ampulla was buried along with their contents for a similar purpose."
