Description: | A glass seal roundel from an onion bottle or similar. The glass was originally a yellow-green as can be seen from the break but the outer surfaces are now coated with irridescent corrosion which is caused by the leaching of silica to the surface. Due to corrosion it is not possible to make full sense of the inscription but it does appear to refer to a William and to Oxfordshire.
The seal has a diameter of 41.4mm.
