Description by Michael Welch: #17 Full handle with a large amount of jar pottery remaining on the bottom. Potter's wheelmarks appear on the bottom. A few smudged potter's fingerprints appear on the inside of the handle's base. Probably a finger indentation appears near the seal impression at the base. It was probably made by a Royal Official of Hezekiah's Kingdom. Pottery color is pinkish red-brick with white grits throughout, and a black core which shows through on some chipped places. Bears a double stamped H2D impression. Out of LMLK on the top, most of the second Lamed and part of the Kaph remain. Out of HBRN on the bottom, most of the Resh with part of the extra mistake leg nearby to its left, and most of the Nun, including the bottom stroke off of the leg to its left remains. Around one-half to two-thirds of the two-winged emblem remains. A black ink #33 from a previous collection remains on the bottom.
