Description: | An elliptical lead seal matrix. The central motif appears to be a lily with a long leafy stalk. The inscription runs around this.
Steven Ashley writes " The inscription appears to be +. S'hENRICI OLER or the seal of Henry Oyler, maker or seller of oil (Reaney & Wilson, 1991, Dictionary of English Surnames, 334) or Holer, dweller in the hollow (Reaney & Wilson, 1991, 235)" Variations in name spelling make it difficult to be certain. The reverse of the matrix has a small lug and scratched into the surface is a rough outline of perhaps a wheat ear. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1066
