Title
Bulla: Papal bulla of Pope ???
Description
English: A complete lead alloy papal bulla (seal) of Pope Innocent IV, 1243-1254 AD. The obverse of the bulla contains the legend INNO/CENTIVS/PP.IIII within a border of pellets, PP standing for 'Pastor Pastorum' or 'Shepherd of Shepherds'. On the reverse can be seen depictions of Saints Peter and Paul beneath an inscription reading SPASPE (an abbreviation standing for St. Paul and St. Peter). St. Paul is seen on the left of the seal looking right, with a long pointed beard, while St. Peter is on the right facing left and has a rounded face with beard and hair formed of pellets. Both faces are contained within beaded borders and separated from one another by a crozier. Like the obverse type, the reverse has a border of pellets. Papal bullae such as this would have acted as seals on official Papal documents to authenticate their provenance and authority.
