Title
Medieval Lead Papal Bulla of Pope Alexander III, AD 1159-1181
Description
English: A Medieval lead papal bulla of pope Alexander III, AD 1159-1181. The obverse shows the usual depiction of two saints' faces, St. Peter and St. Paul set within pellet aureoles with the word SPASPE above. The reverse reads: ALEX/AND[E]R/PP.III . Both faces of this bulla are bordered with closely set pellets. The obverse and reverse have been sealed with a 12 o'clock relationship. The cord holes are not particularly distinct, visible only as a thin irregular line at top and bottom, but the indents at top and bottom in what would otherwise be a circular disc of lead indicate where the cord would originally have passed through the bulla.

Weight is 43.57g, width is 36.3mm, height is 33.3mm, and thickness at the edge of the bulla is 5.9mm maximum to 3.7mm minimum (to the side of the top exit at the cord hole location). This bulla may originally have been fairly flat but is now slightly domed being a little convex on the obverse and concave on the reverse.

See PAS record BERK-47DE41.
