Title
Lead Papal Bull
Description
English: An incomplete Medieval lead Papal bulla. Weight 18.89g, diameter 40.00mm and thickness 3.43mm. The artefact has been bent approximate to a an 135 degree angle.

Tim Pestell writes: "Medieval Papal bulla of Nicholas III (1277-80). This bulla is in poor condition, being ripped in half and having severe bending and flattening of the obverse face. The obverse left-hand side survives, its upper half actually preserving some nice sharp detail, but sadly only to the extent of the initial N. The following I is rubbed and the right-hand edge then torn. The second line begins 'LA' before tearing and rubbing makes the following lettering indistinguishable. Nevertheless, the style of the initial N is enough to confirm an attribution to Nicholas III, while the spacing between the L and the pelleted edge helps confirm this. The reverse, showing St Peter's head, is now slightly corroded but preserves the cross that originally separated it from the head of St Paul. It is impossible to work out the original angle of sealing between obverse and reverse dies as too little survives".
