Excavation site:  unknown

Excavation date:  unknown

Excavation locus:  unknown

Storage/display:  private collection of Michael Welch

Seal type:  none

Notes:  Although this handle bears a raised trapezoidal shape similar to part of a wing from any LMLK seal, there is no depression mark surrounding it; i.e., it was not made from a seal impression even though it is obviously a Type-484 handle.  It is probably just an excess piece of clay leftover from the larger patch of clay used to attach the handle to the jar.  A smaller patch can be seen below it (shaded more in the 2nd photo), continuing down to the fracture.
