Description: | Lead Bulla. Papal bulla or document seal; a cast disc with a pair of notches in one side. Though possibly fortuitous damage, the notches may alternatively compensate for the apparent lack of an aperture through which a cord would pass to attach the seal to a document. On one side appear the facing busts of Saints Paul and Peter. On the other is the legend, over three lines: BONI/FACIVS/PP VIII for the issuing pope, Boniface VIII (1294-1303). Patinated overall.Diameter: 35.7mm, Thickness: 4.7mm, Weight: 31.36gms
