Title
Papal bull
Description
English: An incomplete papal lead bulla only roughly a third of which now survives. It is roughly circular in shape and worn, now measuring 25.2mm in diameter and 4.5mm in thickness. The obverse reads [N]ICO/[L]AVS/[PP]III, with the first letters of each line of the inscription missing due to the incompleteness of the bulla. On the reverse there is the head of St Peter, within a compartment defined by beading, which would have originally have been facing the head of St Paul with a cross pattee with long foot in between the two.

It is most likely to be of Pope Nicholas III, 1277-1280; a complete example is illustrated in the Salisbury and South Wiltshire Museum Medieval catalogue (Egan, 2001, 87, 89, no 3).
