Possible papal bulla, dating to the medieval period. A 5.2mm thick lead disc measuring c35.5mm in diameter (33.0 - 36.8mm), and weighing 43.4g. Both sides are corroded and covered in thick white patination, and no detail is visible. The dimensions and presence of marks on the circumferential edge where the cord would have been attached lead me to believe this is probably a bulla seal, but it could be something else.

Object type: MOUNT
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Leicestershire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Copper alloy mount of probable post-medieval date. It is hexagonal in plan, with the stubs of two curved attachment spikes projecting from the rear - these appear to have been cast integrally. The outer face is decorated in relief with a 6 petalled Tudor rose inside a tressured border, accentuated by small knops at the points of the hexagon. The surface is badly corroded and if it was originally gilded, as seems likely, there are no remaining traces. Read, in 'Metal artefacts of antiquity' (2001), ascribes 16th or 17th century dates to similar items.
