The Ampulla and Coronation Spoon. When a monarch is anointed, the Dean of Westminster first pours holy anointing oil from an ampulla into a spoon. The original ampulla was a small stone phial, sometimes worn around the neck as a pendant by kings, and otherwise kept inside an eagle-shaped golden reliquary. It is unclear why, after the Restoration, the vessel itself came to be reinterpreted as an eagle standing on a domed base. The Coronation Spoon, dates from the late 12th century and is silver-gilt and set with four pearls, which were added in the 17th century.
