Description: | Part of a medieval lead Bulla (a seal from a papal document) of a Pope Clement, about half of the cast disc with the standard hammered papal 'logo' survives.Obverse description: Papal title over three lines within pelleted border, reading: top line CL, middle line ME. The third line is illegible, therefore the number is missing and it cannot be accurately dated.There were ten popes called Clemens [Latin for Clement] starting with Clement I 92-99 AD to Clement X 1670-76 so it could be any one of those. The style of bullae changed and ones decorated like this date from no earlier than 11th century so this is from any time between 1046 [Clemens II] & 1676 [Clemens X].Reverse description: SPE [St Peter] above the bust of St Peter that is bordered with pellets.Length: 33.31mm, Width: 18.78mm, Thickness: 3.47mm, Weight:14.63g
