A vessel, container, or device used for holding and sprinkling holy water or other liquids in religious ceremonies.
From Latin 'aspersorium', combining 'aspergere' (to sprinkle) + '-orium' (place or instrument suffix, similar to '-arium'). This is the Latin word for the actual tool or container used in aspersion.
Some aspersoriums are incredibly ornate—you might find them made of precious metals with religious engravings, while others are simple bowls; the fanciness often depends on the church's wealth and the historical period it comes from.
