Description: | A lead alloy papal bulla of Nicholas III (1277-80). The bulla is disc shaped and originally was flat but is now bent across the middle. One side 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 S(PA) SPE. The other side contains the name of the pope as follows: NICO/LAVS/PP:III/. There is some damage to the edge of the bulla at each end of the bend.
