| Title |
Lead papal bulla made into a vesica lead personal seal matrix |
||
| Description |
English: Incomplete lead seal matrix. The object was originally a circular papal bulla, as seen by depiction of a bearded face of St Paul on the left hand side of the reverse of the seal matrix. Five pellets of the left hand field of the now missing face of St Peter are also visible, along with the lower portion of the letters S and P above, originally from the legend 'SPASPE'. The cut of the seal appears to respect the face. The seal matrix depicts an eight petalled motif in the centre, with an incomplete inscription surrounding it. The matrix looks to have an apostrophy just before the letters M and V (or less likely O). The apostrophy is probably that of the SIGILL', being written in part to account for the position of the start of the first word of the name. The other letters opposite to it starts ]W ~ all that is visible of the next letter is a line angled / (perhaps A?). The seal is that of a personal seal carved out of a papal bulla. The seal was then voided at the end of its function life ~ The upper and lower cuts are clean and obviously knife cuts rather than breaks. |
