Description by Michael Welch:  #104 One-half jar handle with a tiny amount of jar pottery remaining. Pottery color is red-brick with a black core and white grits throughout. Bears a Z2D impression. Out of LMLK on the top, part of the initial Lamed, most of the Mem and second Lamed, and perhaps a trace of the head of the Kaph remain. Out of ZP on the bottom, the Zayin is very clear, with just the tiniest trace of the head of the Pe remaining. Out of the two-winged sun disc emblem, about one-half remains including two of the three rays of the sun on the top. There is some deformation smudging to the right of the seal probably done by the Royal Official doing the sealing. There are some wet-smoothing marks around the impression probably done by the potters. There are some wheel marks on the inside of the jar pottery made by the potters. There would have been more jar pottery around the handle but it has been broken off in modernity.
