Jug
Eighteenth-century Buckley pot, or witch-bottle, found buried at the foot of an old yew tree at Allt-y-Rhiw farmhouse near Llansilin, Powys.
The jug is quarter filled with lead. This suggests that it was used as some form of protection or as a means of sealing or capturing a troublesome spirit.
