Title
Medieval lead papal bulla
Description
English: Approximately half of a lead papal bulla, probably of Pope Gregory IX (1227-1241). The right-half of the obverse remains which displays the bust of St Peter within a beaded border. The bust of St Paul wuold originally have decorated the left side of the obverse. Above the bust is the inscription [SPAS]PE, abbreviations for St Paul and St Peter. The reverse has the inscription of the pope [GRE]/GOR[IUS]/PP VII[II]. 'PP' is an abbreviation for pastor pastorum, which translates as 'shepherd of the shepherds'. The bulla appears to have been cut in half along the line of the central hole through which a cord would ahve originally been threaded.

Papal bullae were used as seals on official papal documents to authenticate their provenance and authority and were often reused as religious amulets.
