Papal Bulla Only two recorded on UKDFD

[shaun7]

Hello all, I spent the day with Crusader on one of his fields. I struggled for over 6 hours with very little, but buttons.

I did get a strap end which Cru says is Saxon, but it's pretty plain and not much to look at.

I thought I was going to go home disappointed, but right at the end I pulled out a Papal Bulla! I didn't really know what it was until I showed Cru, and then I thought he was going to cry

Crusader thinks it could have been the seal of Pope Leo in 1531ish. These were used to seal official documents sent by the Pope!

I said to you as much as I can express on this one whilst in the field.

Personally I'm voting BANNER on this one. Its a highly collectable, rare & valuable item from the Pope in the 13th century

In amazing condition!!!

That is a Great Find I'd say!
And to be made of lead and in such good shape to not be mashed or bent and the importance of it!
She needs A SPOT UP TOP!
