Medieva lead alloy papal bulla, 35mm in diameter and 4mm thick with a weight of 26.86grams. The bulla is very worn, missing a portion and was found in two pieces. It should show an image of S. Peter and Paul on one side with an inscription identifying the issuer on the other. The finder has identified it a belonging to one of the Pope Clements, as he has recorded CLE [MENS] but I can't see enough to confirm this, so the dating is very tentative.
