Title
Medieval Papal Bulla
Description
English: A bent but complete Medieval cast lead alloy papal bulla issued under Pope Gregory 9th (1227-1241). The obverse has the legend GRE/GORIUS/PP VIIII within a beaded circle. The letters PP in the legend stand for pastor pastorum meaning Shepherd of Shepherds. The reverse bears the conventional stamped busts of Saints Peter and Paul both within drop-shaped pelleted borders, possibly haloes. On the left, St Paul's beard is portrayed as being long, straight and pointed, while his hair is straight and swept back. On the right, Peter looks left with his more rounded hair and beard both formed of pellets. Above is the inscription: 'SPA SPE' (abbreviations for St Paul and St Peter).
