Framed Print of The Golden Ampulla and the Anointing Spoon
The most ancient regalia used in the most solemn Coronation rite for the anointing of the sovereign - the golden ampulla and the spoon. The Ampulla, in the form of an eagle made of gold, is filled with consecrated oil and poured through the beak onto the Anointing Spoon. Although the head was probably made by Sir Robert Vyner at the time of the Restoration, it is thought that the body is of earlier origin. The spoon, whose handle is seven inches long, has a ridge in the bowl that divides the Spoon into two parts, into which the Archbishop dips two fingers when carrying out the ceremony. It is made of silver, heavily gilt and is decorated with four pearls and probably dates from the twelfth century. Date: 1937.
