Description by Michael Welch:  #27 Three-fourths handle with a small amount of jar pottery on the bottom.  On the bottom of the jar pottery are potter's wheelmarks.  The handle was applied with a twist, similar to a lot of the Zyph types.  Pottery color is brownish with white grits throughout, and a black core.  Some encrustation and iron stain are towards the bottom.  It looks like a little extra clay was added towards the middle of the handle.  Bears a H2T type impression.  In this type of impression only HBRN is on the top.  Out of HBRN, just a trace of the Heth, Beth, and Resh remain, while most of the Nun remains.  About two-thirds of the two-winged emblem remains, with most of the circle of the sun.
