Description: | The papal bull is sub-circular in plan with a design on both faces. One face there is beaded border at the edge of the papal bull. Within the lettering reads ' hono / RI??VS?? / PP ?? IIII' Below the first 'O' of hono is a circular hole. Protruding from this hole underlining 'no' is a groove with the remains of a cream/white cord. Above the PP is an omega symbol. The upper and lower edge of this face is slightly distorted suggesting a vertical void through the papal bull. The reverse face has also a beaded border with two male heads. Each of the heads are within a beaded border. The head on the left has a pointed beard and lines representing swept back hair. The second head has been damaged and the lower portion of the face is missing due to the patina being removed. This is not recent damage compared to a scrape on the forehead of the left-hand head. The right-hand head has pellets for hair. Between the two heads is a cross. Above the two heads lettering reads 'SPASPE'. Inscription: ' hono / RI??VS?? / PP ?? IIII' 'SPASPE' | Subjects: | Pope Honorius IV Papal | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Bolton, Angie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
