Description: | A lead papal bull, dating to the late thirteenth century (1285-1287). Such bulls were used to seal official documents from the papacy. The bull is flat and oval in shape. On one surface are the letters SPASPE. Below the lettering, on the right is the head of St Peter; that of St Paul is not visible. St Peter appears to have a high forehead, with dots representing hair and a beard. On the underside the letters HONORIVS P IV are visible. The bull measures 31mm in length and 35mm in width. It is 4mm thick. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1285
