Description by Michael Welch: #102 Two-thirds jar handle with a small amount of jar pottery remaining on the bottom. Pottery color is brownish with a blackish grey core and with white and grey grits throughout. Bears an H4C impression. Out of LMLK on the top, most of the initial Lamed and a trace of the Mem remains. Out of HBRN on the bottom, the left leg of the Heth, and most of the Beth, Resh, and Nun (the Nun is hard to see but a splash of water will reveal it) remain. Out of the four-winged scarab emblem the central part with the head and body is clear and a small amount of the inside of all four wings remains. Wet smoothing is around the top of the seal; a small air hole is near the top; and the top right edge of the handle is pinched and deformed either by the potters or the Royal Official doing the sealing.
Formerly in the Gil Chaya collection (#4 4-Wing Hebron BR; LMLK Dotcom ID# 048).
