Holy Bottle and Coronation Spoon
As Oliver Cromwell melted a lot of royal jewelry during the Republic period, the golden Holy Vase Ampulla, like many other royal jewelry, was made during the restoration in 1661. The belly of the Holy Vase is shaped like an eagle with outstretched wings. The head is detachable with a small mouth.
The holy bottle used to hold the holy oil is most closely related to the respect and symbolic significance of the emperor’s coronation. The archbishop touches the head, chest and hands of the monarch with holy oil, which is an important ceremony in the coronation ceremony.
The holy oil is poured on the Anointing Spoon coronation spoon. The Anointing Spoo Coronation Spoon is made of silver plated gold and is the oldest piece in the royal jewelry collection. When Cromwell announced the founding of the Republic, the coronation key, which symbolizes the kingship, would melt together with other crowns and jewelry. But in fact, the coronation keys were sold. Mr. Kynnersley, a clockmaker in the Kingdom of Charles I, bought the coronation key at the price of 16 shillings, and saved it during this short republican period. In 1661, Kynnersley returned the coronation key to King Charles II.
During the coronation ceremony of Elizabeth II, all cameras were forbidden to shoot this most solemn moment.
