Title
Bulla
Description
English: A Medieval lead Papal bulla of Pope Innocent IV, whose papacy lasted from 1243 to 1254 AD.

The obverse depicts the faces of St Peter and St Paul below the inscription SPA SPE (SPA = Sanctus Paulus, SPE = Sanctus Petrus), all of which are surrounded by a beaded border, flanking the outside edge of the bulla. St. Paul is seen on the left looking right, with a long pointed beard, and St. Peter is on the right facing left, with a rounded face and beard and hair formed from pellets. Each is within a C or backwards-C beaded border, joined to the main. There is a cross between them.

The reverse bears the legend INNO/CENTIVS/.PP.IIII. , within a beaded border. There is an omega above the 'PP', which is an abbreviation of pastor pastorum - meaning shepherd of the shepherds. The surface of the bulla has a well developed cream coloured patination and the bulla is in very good condition.
