Josef Bloomfield

Interpretation

Commentary
The reading of wrmh is uncertain. The first two letters of the name are clear and at the end of the top line. Below the bn there is a shape that looks like a m formed of two unconnected lines, within the curve of which is a shape that somewhat resembles a k. The reading here assumes the diagonal lines at the top of the top of the letter were a mistake and the longer, lightly scratched line running from the letter was added afterwards to form a h.
