Description: | Lead papal bulla of Nicholas III (1277-80). The bulla is disc shaped and flat. One side is very worn and depicts the heads of St Peter and St Paul facing each other, each in a vesica shaped compartment defined by beading. Above are the letters SPA [SPE]. The other side contains the name of the pope as follows: NICO/LAVS/PP:III/. There is a drilled hole located through the chin of the right hand figure, which relates to beneath the first 'P' on the other side.
