Bullae were the seal impressions used to authenticate manuscripts.
The seal - a ring, perhaps - was impressed in a lump of clay
which was then attached to the folded manuscript before filing away.
Bullae have sometimes survived long after the manuscripts themselves have crumbled
away.
Bulla: 17 x 16mm. Inscribed "Baruch son
of Neriah the scribe". Israel Museum.
