A leaden seal is affixed around a cord and attached to the proclamation. These leaden seals are called bullae. Every papal proclamation has the papal bullae attached to it. On one side of the papal bullae is an engraved picture of two saints, and on the other side is the name and seal of the issuing pope. The bullae attachment is considered authentication of the document as being from the pope. Hence the proclamations are called bulls because of the bullae's attachment.
