英国皇室加冕圣匙 (Coronation Spoon)

ngsunyu

圣瓶為鷹狀，鷹頭的部分可以旋開，讓圣油得以被倒入裝在瓶中。加冕儀式時，西敏寺主教會將圣油倒至圣匙中。接著，坎特伯里大主教則會以手沾圣油點在國王的手部，頭部，及心臟處，以為祝禱。现在圣瓶與圣匙被保存在伦敦塔内。(http://blog.xuite.net/selenachen/selena/45823962)
When the Sovereign is anointed by the Archbishop of Canterbury, the anointing oil is poured from the Ampulla into the Anointing Spoon. The Ampulla is a hollow gold vessel shaped like an eagle, and the Spoon is a silver-gilt spoon set with pearls. The ampulla is believed to be the one first used in the coronation of Henry IV in 1399. According to legend it was made to contain the oil presented by the Virgin Mary in a vision seen by St Thomas of Canterbury. It is accompanied by a golden spoon which is certainly of the 13th century. It is likely though not certain that the ampulla, an eagle crafted in pure gold, escaped destruction in 1643 when most of the regalia were destroyed or sold. The Spoon was bought by Clement Kynnersley, Yeoman of the Removing Wardrobe, for sixteen shillings when Cromwell ordered the destruction of the new regalia; the Spoon, probably dating from the thirteenth century, is thus the oldest element of the Regalia.
