Title
Papal Bulla of Lead
Description
English: Complete cast circular lead seal with a design on either face, in a very worn condition. The obverse depicts the busts of St Peter and St Paul each within a vessica-shaped field defined by pellets. On the right, St Peter's beard and hair are shown to be curly by the use of pellets. On the left, St Paul's beard is portrayed as being long, straight and pointed, whilst his hair is straight and swept back. There is a cross pattee supported on a staff between the busts. At the top of the bulla in the centre are the near-illegible letters 'SPA SPE', abbreviations for St Paul and St Peter. The reverse of the bulla has the following letters (just discernible) over three lines: VR /[BA] NVS / PP. IIII. The PP means 'pastor pastorum', translated as 'shepherd of the shepherds'. The rest of the inscription points to the bulla being used on a document issued by Urban IV, who was pope between 1261 and 1264. Urban was of French birth, but became much bound up in Italian politics once pope.
