The markings on the lid read "M", and then "+". The "M" representing the wings of the moth and the "+" the head of the moth.

The previous theory on the wiki reads as follows: It is as yet unknown if they mean anything. In runic language, they may read "Horse Need", "Man Need", "Horse Hail" or "Man Hail".
