Title
Medieval papal bulla (Clement V)
Description
English: A medieval lead Papal bulla of Pope Clement V (AD 1305-1314). On the obverse are Saint Peter and Saint Paul beneath an inscription reading SPA SPE, an abbreviation for St. Paul and St. Peter. St. Paul is on the left of the seal looking right, depicted with a long pointed beard. St. Peter is on the right facing left and has a rounded face with beard and hair formed of pellets. Both faces are contained within a beaded borders, possibly representing haloes, and separated from one another by a crozier. The obverse has a border of pellets. The reverse of the bulla contains the legend CLE/MENS/PP V within a border of pellets with omega above the PP. 'PP' stands for 'Pastor Pastorum', translated as 'shepherd of the shepherds'. There is some damage to one side which has been bent downwards, and indents at the top but especially the bottom where a squashed vertical hole runs through it which originally held the ribbon for the document (bull).
