Title
Medieval : Papal Bulla of Pope Urban IV
Description
English: A cast lead Papal Bulla of Pope Urban IV. The obverse of the bulla is stamped with the faces of the saints Peter and Paul. Above the heads, the saints' abbreviations are visible with 'SPA' for St. Paul to the left and 'SPE' for St. Peter to the right. The reverse is stamped with UR//BANVS//PP IIII. The 'PP' stands for 'pastor pastorum' which translates as 'shepherd of the shepherds'.

Both faces have a border raised pellets.
Urban IV was Pope from 1261-1264.
Papal Bulla such as this would have acted as seals on official Papal documents to authenticate their provenance and authority.

The metal is a mid brownish-white colour and is worn and pitted. The bulla is 39.5mm in diameter, 4.7mm thick and weighs 42.8g.
Depicted place (County of findspot) East Riding of Yorkshire
