A cast, lead alloy papal bulla of Pope Nicholas IV (AD 1288-92). As usual, the obverse depicts Saints Paul and Peter. The reverse has the Pope's name in three lines, NICO/LAUS/PP IIII. The bulla has a light cream-coloured patina. It is damaged at 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock where it has a vertical hole running through the bulla for the attachment string. The faces of the bulla are also cracked along this line. Recent damage has removed the patina and bent the bulla too. It is 36.1mm in diameter and 5.6mm thick. It weighs 39.87gm. Compare WMID-BD9914 and BUC-B82B06.
