Description by Michael Welch: #106 Full handle with a medium amount of jar pottery remaining, more was
there but has been broken off in modernity. Pottery color is brownish red-brick with white and gray grits throughout. There are some deep ribs and wheel marks on the inside of the jar pottery and even a wheel mark or two on the outside of the pottery under the handle (which is unusual). Bears a M2D impression. Out of LMLK on the top, part of the second Lamed, most all of the Kaph and the word divider/exclamation point remain. Out of MMST on the bottom, most of the Shin and a trace of the Tau remain, perhaps even a slight tiny trace of the head of the second Mem remains as well. About half of the two-winged sun disc emblem remains. Directly above the seal, immediately to its right, and about two-thirds down the handle are possible fingernail marks, perhaps made by the Royal Official doing the stamping. These marks cut through wet-smoothing marks made all over the handle by the potters. There are spots of calcium carbonate here and there.
