bulla
Fluid-filled sac
A bulla is a blister or blister-like structure—a fluid-filled sac on the skin or, in medicine, an air-filled cavity in the lung.
In archaeology, a bulla is a clay seal or pendant, especially the hollow clay balls used in ancient Mesopotamia to enclose tokens for record-keeping, or the protective amulets worn by Roman children.
Plural: bullae.
