Title
Medieval : Papal bull
Description
English: A lead papal bulla, from the medieval period. Papal bullae are lead seals which were attached to documents known as bulls, issued by the Papacy. The obverse depicts the heads of St. Paul and St. Peter, with a sceptre between them. The two heads are each surrounded by a circle of pellets. There is no legend above the busts. The reverse depicts the name of the Pope. The legend reads ALE/ ANDER/ [A]PA (written on three lines). This name could refer to Alexander I to VIII, however the most likely date is 12th to 14th century, therefore the bull was probably issued by Alexander III (1159-81) or IV (1254-61). The papal bulla is roughly circular in shape measuring 35.72mm diameter. The edges of the papal bulla have been damaged, this damage looks well worn. The lead has gone a mid whitish-grey colour.
