Post medieval Papal bulla |
||
| Description |
English: A slightly damaged cast medieval lead papal bulla of Pope Clement VII (1523-34 AD). The object is sub-circular, with indentations at the top and bottom at the points at which the cord would have travelled through an internal recess. One face bears the conventional stamped busts of Saints Peter and Paul both within drop-shaped pelleted borders, possibly haloes. The details of their appearence are not clear. Between the two is a crozier and the entire image is within a pellet border. The top and left side of the die design has not come out possibly due to mis-striking or later wear.
The reverse face bears a legend in high relief suggesting that it might have been struck harder originally or the reverse die was engraved far more recently than the die depicting the saints which might have endured from preceding pontificates. It bears the CLE/MENS/.PP.VII. in three lines with an omega above the 'P's, all within a pelleted border: 'PP' stands for 'Pastor Pastorum', translated as 'shepherd of the shepherds'. The bull is 38.3mm long, 34.1mm wide, 5.9mm thick and weighs 47.59 grams. |
