ampulla
Small glass container
An ampulla is a flask or vessel with two handles and a rounded body, used in ancient Rome for storing liquids like oil or wine.
In anatomy, ampulla refers to a dilated portion of a tube or duct: the ampulla of a semicircular canal in the ear, or the ampulla of a fallopian tube.
In religious contexts, an ampulla holds consecrated oil or holy water.
