Description: | An incomplete cast lead or lead alloy papal bulla of John XXI, dating from AD 1276-1277 (diameter: 39mm; thickness: 5mm; weight: 46.95g). On the obverse of the bulla, the head of St. Peter is on the right, with the head of St. Paul on the left. A beaded border surrounds each head (possibly intended to represent a halo). There is also another beaded circle of dots around the outside edge. The heads are faintly divided by a cross, while above them is the abbreviated inscription ??S??PA?? for St. Paul to the left and ??[S]PE?? for St. Peter on the right. On the reverse of the bulla, the inscription ??IOHANNES [ ]XXI?? in three lines, surrounded by a beaded circle of dots. The bulla is in a worn but fair condition with slight breakages around the edges. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Johnson, Caroline - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
